Moving the view..

Life has this habit of going on as usual... most of the time...
but just of late it's been anything but.

After four years living out in Kallhäll watching the ducks dabble and the sun setting over Mälaren it is time for a move. Not without reservations, I've decided to up sticks and head for the big city. After wrestling with just what and where and how much, hours spent surfing on Hemnet, and several frantic days running between viewings it is finally settled. I'm moving...

And compared to England things move scarily fast. Exchanging contracts? Weeks of due diligence by two different solicitors? No... Three hours from bid accepted to wet ink on the paper.

So home, once I've sold this one and unpacked the removals truck, will be in Hornstull on Södermalm - an airy (albeit smaller) apartment on a quiet sidestreet by Högalids Park. Shops round the corner, both bus and underground more or less on the doorstep... and just a few minutes to most of my usual haunts.

...not to mention the island of Långholmen just a short walk away for when I feel like watching the those ducks dabble and the sun setting over Mälaren.
