Calling Pompey Home

We've been in our new house in Portsmouth for two weeks now. Russ is getting back into study mode with his journalism course and I'm getting settled into my new job, working in planning for Hampshire Cosmetics, who make things for the Body Shop, among other things. The first week was a bit stressful, but now I'm starting on my own projects, things are settling down slowly. This is the lounge...

Our new house is a two bedroom flat on the second floor. There's no outside space which has made it feel like a bit closed in, but I guess we'll get used to that. It's nice having the extra space for ourselves here, but the house was VERY VERY dirty when we moved in, so spent the whole first week cleaning. Not impressed! It's just courtesy to clean for new people about to move in!!
The spare room...
It's going to take some getting used to... Our house in London was really nice and we both miss it. We've been pretty spoiled in London, so now we have to be a bit more realistic about wha we can afford, etc as Russ isn't working while he studies his full-time course.
The bathroom...
We have found homes for all our things now and looking after our chilli plants has made it feel more homely. Still really miss London...it's very different down here... But it's only for six months, and it's not that bad, really! :o)
