First Step On The Property Ladder!

As you may have noticed the Blog has been a bit neglected over the last few weeks. This is because we have been spending all our time looking at property and filling in Mortgage Application Forms!

Anyway, we are pleased to say that after only looking for two weeks we have found a house we love and our offer has been accepted. Everything is progressing well and fingers crossed we will exchange contracts around mid October. It is a two bedroomed terraced house in York, which has been gutted and refurbished by a builder. Everything is brand new and has been completed to a high standard. As we plan to head back to Sea for another couple of years we will be renting it out to help pay the mortgage!

Here are some pictures

Oban to Home

From Fort William we went via Glencoe to Oban where we spent a night in a very picturesque, but unfriendly campsite! We enjoyed another long walk, this time along the coast with stunning views of the Western Isles. That evening we had a BBQ, which smoked the whole campsite out but kept the midges at bay!













From Oban we travelled to Helensburgh and decided to stay in a hotel for the evening as Colin was not too well. The next day we drove to Loch Lomond and then across to Callander before visiting our great friend Lynne in her new house in Gartmore.

We had a great evening catching up with Lynne and the next morning we head off back to York, with a short Fish & Chip stop in Seahouses, Northumberland.

After six hours driving we arrived back home after a fantastic two week road trip, covering 1200 miles and visiting over 10 towns.
