Moving Fast

We've had an offer on the house and we've made an offer ourselves-on a house in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey. 

We now enter a period of uncertainty. Anything or everything could fall through. Nothing has been signed, no money has changed hands. 

The house in Sheerness is about the same age as this one and a little smaller. The big selling point is that you cross the road, climb over the flood defences and there's the sea...

I look up Sheppey, England in Google images and discovered that you have your own webcam! (Meant to show weather.) http://www.iossc.org.uk/weather/images/latest.jpg

Lots of cool photos.

Splendid.

The webcam looks as though it may have been set up just yards from where I took my picture.

Yes, that was my thought, too.

There was another, old picture of sailing ships docking at the beach. The pilings or whatever they are were immediately recognizable. The caption was something about Sheppey being a nice place to bathe.

I'm glad you are moving to this place of peace. I do hope you don't find it boring.

When my brother got married, we were at his inlaws for a barbeque, on Tybee Island, near Savannah. That's all marshland. In the late afternoon, I was amused to watch some people rowing through what looked like a huge field behind their house. By evening, the tide had come in and only one spit of their property ("the point" was uncovered by water. I'd never been a fan of marshes till then. I hope you are able to enjoy many tides in your new place.
