I can't believe it
« on: April 03, 2012, 12:17:47 AM »
I have wanted this for most of my life.

We arrived in England on Friday!

First I want to thank ehmygirl for picking us up and driving us all over whilst we were exhausted. Very kind person indeed!

I know it is early days but I am loving it so far! Now to get a nice home and carers.

Our kitty got here a day before us and is in a cattery near here. He was pretty frightened for about the first 48 hours but even then he was eating. drinking and using his tray so that was a great relief for me. Every day has seen him be more like himself. My husband gets to see him evach day and I did today. Today he got his purr back!

I have to say that the pet relocation company is top notch.

Hooray you made it. I'm glad it finally happened for you. Also glad kitty is ok too.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

May you find hope in the darkest hours and focus on the brightest days free from bitterness that grows you may not judge the universe.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Even today, I feel more content and loving my town. Finally got to a pub for a midday bite and tea. Yum. They sell malt but I will wait for that when I am not rushed!

Tomorrow begins the house hunting with estate agents. I am feeling hopeful.

Oh, I want to say that the IO was very nice at the Manchester airport and I noticed the lady IO sitting next to him also had a pleasant disposition. The ones in London have always been nasty.

Welcome to the UK!  Good luck house hunting.  :)
