Partly in the name of cutting costs and partly to reduce housework, Avril and I took the opportunity to move into Pete and Carla’s old place when they vacated at the end of May.
The house itself is an annex, a granny flat, if you will, tacked onto the side of the house currently occupied by our brothers in the faith Mike and Terry Kanellos. Before they moved in, Charles and Sonya Larry lived there. Prior to Pete and Carla’s occupancy of the annex, Glen and Jo Cole from Wales lived there during the missionary home construction project.
While our old place served us admirably for so long (nearly three years, as it happened) we really didn’t need three bedrooms and were tired of having to share our house with others as well. We just needed a little privacy. (So if you stayed there with us personally, hah, no offense intended.)
The new place could hardly be smaller. Following some minor adjustments there’s a tiny shower / toilet room, a store, a corridor / kitchen, a bedroom barely large enough for a double bed, and a small rectangular living room which is host to the fridge and freezer. It took a lot of thought to arrange our furniture to make best use of the little space that we have. Some have commented that it reminds them of a static caravan – no space is wasted.
After three months living here we could say that we’ve rather gotten used to it and will no doubt grow to love it in time just as we did our last place.
