It looks like we are properly settled; after just 3 weeks our house feels like home, helped by the beautiful weather and lot's of progress on the domestic front. Mary whitewashed our bedroom and has been assembling our new Ikea wardrobe this weekend, with lot's of help from all of us. Also our new car is standing in the driveway, we chose a Peugeot 308 SW, which we had been driving last summer in France. It has proven its worth the first day, as our Ikea packages (2.5 m long!) fitted in easily.
We are still sleeping on mattresses on the floor, and our sea freight is not in sight yet, but we manage pretty well. And we can go on the bike everywhere, the car is not used on most days
School and work are going fine, and first friendships are starting to form. Mary and the girls had their first horse riding lesson last Thursday, at the stable across the road. The stable has an informal feel, which is what they like. Piet has also started with his cycling reconnaissance of the surroundings, and has been doing a 2-3 hour ride the last 3 Sundays.
So far, so good!
