Well it has been something of a roller-coaster ride these past few hours.
My mechanic told me poor old Hettie has died. I am sorry to see her go as she was quirky but fun to drive!
I then frantically cleared the house in readiness for the Estate agent to call accompanied by a professional photographer to take shots of the house.
The Estate Agent was lovely ~ Ollie kept trying to lick her and she took it all in good part. The photographer was also rather taken with Ollie and forgave his antics!
One hilarious moment was when the photographer was in the back garden and trying to get a rear shot of the house. He signalled through the window to me that he wanted me to pull back the curtain, which I did. The Estate agent asked me if I thought the photographer would end up catching us in the photo. ( Not if I can help it I thought so we both ducked down and stood as close to the wall as we could so we were out of shot, accompanied by the dog.
We waited, crouched for some time and then realised the photographer had quickly got the shot he needed and was coming back into the house. Ollie, the Estate Agent and I were still huddled close together against the wall when he re-entered the house and I guess to the uninitiated this may have looked rather odd!
Anyway, It won't be long before the house is officially on the Market and I cannot wait!
As soon as the estate Agent had left I turned my attention to finding a new (cheap) car and fingers crossed I have found another inexpensive Ford KA ( blue this time)
I will let you know once this is confirmed and if all goes well he could be mine by Monday!
I have a potential name for him but will reveal that once the sale is confirmed....To be continued
RIP Hettie
