Getting Your Heart Set

Today is one of those days when I am trying not to get too excited about the prospects of our relocation to the UK.  It was one thing not to get too worked up about the possibility of the job Akira has been offered…but now that is a done deal, there are other massive unknowns in our near future and it is hard not to hope that the universe will continue to move favourably in our direction.

It is early days yet (we won’t move until the Autumn) but we are already checking out the real estate/letting markets with almost obsessive regularity.  Last night we found another perfect little house in the tiny village of Kingsbarns and after googling more images of this little piece of Scottish heaven, I am convinced it is the place for us.  Check out some of these amazing beach shots.   Almost as good as being here:

…albeit with a cooler climate, more frigid seas, more swanky golfers and more archaic (and thus more wonderful) buildings.

Silly me.

But I am sure that wherever we finally end up…it will be such a relief to (a) be in our own space [NO shared housing this time around], (b) be in a place where we have access to free healthcare, free education and family, (c) have a fenced yard for the wee guy to run about in…that I will be happy as can be… So I am not really getting my heart set on this one place…just daydreaming for now.
