HOORAY!

The house of which we were half owners sold, after being on the market two years, and the closing took place last night. We got our asking price, too, although not of course the original asking price.

That's a good portion of the money we need for buying the flat in Ormskirk. Now we feel certain we can pull it off.

Meanwhile, my niece Maddy and I are having a lot of fun. We're off to the rock and mineral museum now.
