We have a house!

The first step in our infiltration plan is complete - we have a found a base for our c'lonial headquarters. Our credit has been approved, G. is just negotiating the date we take possession. We want to push it back a bit, they of course want to push it forward. I'm guessing we'll meet somewhere in the middle.

So, we'll be living in Cookham Rise. To help you to know the area, here's a couple of photos of the town and area around Cookham.

That's not me hugging the tree, but I know this tree very well. Right there, in the shade of it, is where I dipped my swollen ankle into the Thames to help it. As you can see, it's a lovely spot.

The High Street in Cookham.

The walk down to Marsh Meadow, a nice nature area right along the Thames.

If you want to see more pictures, the Cookham website has a pretty photo tour that shows some of the major sites around the town. In fact, it was the great information that the Cookham website provides that was one of the factors that helped us to decide that it would be a good place to live. So for their efforts, they now have a permanent link on the left.
