Moving

Moving to Guernsey is time-consuming and costly. We have spent much of this day trailing about from States department to States department to get the car re-registered. First of all we had to take it to the weighbridge to have the car weighed, then to the driving licence and transport place where we sat and waited for about half an hour to hand all the paperwork in. Then we had to go get new licence plates (we are now the proud owner of a car with back licence plates with shiny silver numbers but no letters!) All of these places take cash of you for the privilege of seeing them.

The only saving grace is that because everything is so close it doesn’t take long to drive anywhere. Tomorrow we have to try and get social security numbers, sort out tax stuff out and see the bank manager about opening Guernsey bank accounts.

What fun.

On the plus side, we sat in the garden and played scrabble and then walked to the beach and went for a swim in the clear blue sea. Ooo I also phoned up my old singing teacher and said ‘hi, I’m home’… and her response was “choir practice is on Monday night from 7.30-9pm. We have a wedding on Saturday and a concert a week on Monday”.

Life is good.

    ah, going home again … I’m happy where I am but I could also move home in a heartbeat 🙂 … glad you’re having fun and getting back in the flow (even with all the boring red tape!)

    Love the response of your singing teacher. Brought a smile to my face.
