We have rented the house. After about 15 viewings, we have found the perfect tenant. Family with 4 girls under 12, they particularly liked the climbing frame. This is a great relief. We will not have to dismantle the contraption. It took us nearly 3 months to build!
They are french and want the place for 18 months to start with and possibly for 2 years. We can accommodate this as we will go and live in our flat when we come back.
It is a great relief that the rental has taken place as we were begining to think the perfect tenant was on holiday somewhere else.
I have confirmed a date for leaving work - 30th July. We will be on a plane within days of this date. The tenant doesn't want to move in until the middle of August but we want to be in New York for the first 3 days of August. So the house will be empty for a while. After we have been in NYC for 3 days, we will take an overnight bus to Toronto (by Greyhound Coach it takes 12 hours) and meet Mum who will be flying back from San Diego on the 3rd of August. Then the Canadian adventure begins.
