LIVING | We're on the move!

Life has a funny way of putting things in a spin when you least expect it, doesn’t it? Living in a rented cottage in a West Sussex village since March this year, my hubby and I weren't planning on relocating until next year (when we intend to buy).

But of course, things don't often turn out as you'd planned. So, we're off to pastures new!

We've decided to leave West Sussex so my husband can be closer to work and will be moving into a little cottage in Hampshire. The house is lovely and the prospect of new villages, towns and (of course) countryside to explore is really exciting!

The village we're moving to is in the Bourne Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so there will be plenty of new walks, fresh vistas and interesting places to visit. I'll continue to post my experiences of life in the country, right here on Country Den so please be sure to continue to drop by.

Also, feel free to drop me a message if you're from the Bourne Valley or surrounding areas; I'd love to know if you have any tips for places to visit or things to do.

Until then, be sure to keep reading Country Den for simple country lifestyle tips, stories, photos and recipes from here in Sussex.
