That is wonderful news. Congratulations to everyone. I love what you have done to the house and garden you have now so I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your new house. The dogs are going to love that big backyard.
Hi Mike, Ian and Pups! Omygosh, how super exciting!! I love your new home! Very beautiful, graceful and well kept! I'm very happy for you all! Congratulations!!
How exciting! Congrats, Mike, Ian, Mum, Dad, & pups! Lovely home! All the pieces are falling into place. Terrific gardening opportunities for everyone. Wonderful! From Cheryl in AZ
Very good luck with the house move. I really like the look of the next one and I think you're all going to enjoy having a big garden - and that includes you gorgeous doggies too!
Congrats on getting your new home - and selling off the current home. Exciting news. Plus, it appears you’ll have time to pack and prepare for the move. Can’t wait to see your new home!
Glad things are moving quickly with sale and purchase of houses. Change, even for the better, is difficult. You will continue to be in my thoughts. Wonderful days ahead!😊❤❤❤❤
Had a busy week and late getting here! Nothing compared to your busy, however! Congratulations on the new home! Wishing you many, many blessings in the years to come.
WOW snow. We've had frost, but no snow and hopefully it stays that way. Many congratulations on the sale of your house and the purchase of your new one, it's beautiful and I love the garden, I'm sure your little boys will love it too 🥰
Our Prayers were answered... Congratulations on getting the new house, and of course the sale of your current home. Things are falling into place; I'm sorry it's going to take 8-10 weeks for physical move, but am also happy that you don't have to worry about it during the Holidays - always nicer to have peaceful, enjoyable, and memorable Holidays. I think the first snow is absolutely beautiful; it's always so pretty and peaceful before anybody gets out to walk or drive in it. I used to live in snow country - MT & CO, USA - but now live in TX and miss it Nov. through Jan. each year. The Holidays just don't seem the same when its 75-85 degrees with full sun... LOL. Happy Holidays to you, Ian, Mr. Bentley and Mr. Nip, and of course Mum and Dad too. Thank you for sharing your week.
Congratulations on the new home. I haven't commented in ages, i tend to watch while crafting & leave it too late! I'm working my way through my Christmas cards.
Very happy news, Mike and Ian. What a beautifully established home you have bought. Cannot wait to see the little garden retreat as well. Start packing!!!!
Really happy for you, Mike, about the house move. It's amazing how house sales can suddenly accelerate. In the Midlands we have had snow and ice - so cold that our recycling bin froze shut! I share your amazement at Christmas decorations going up so early. Some people who live opposite us have had their decorations up since the beginning of November!
Well dear Mike and Iain, what a huge relief that everything has fallen into place for you, moving house can be such a nightmare!! I do hope you will all be very happy in your new abode, and being closer to indigo blue is a real bonus. I did wonder about that. So good luck with it all and happy packing, Sue Balhatchet xx
wonderful news..................now the life together with mum and dad can starts..............CONGRATULATIONS..................like a puzzle all pieces are on place...............thanks for the vlog......Blessings and Greetings and a big hug for the boys........Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
Wow that's happened very quickly for you selling and buying, so pleased for you. The garden in the new house looks great for the puppies. Exciting times for you.❤
Beautiful new home. Hope you will be happy there with Mom and Dad living with you. ❤❤❤Love the snowy scene from your house. In South Africa we ha snow in September and here in Centurion we had sleet and rain, but no snow. It was a really cold start to our Spring.
Congratulations on the sale of your house and the purchase of a new forever home for your family Mike. The garden area looks wonderful and I can't wait to see what you do with it. The boys will love the space and then you have water and ducks to visit too. Wow the snow has come early Snow makes everything look quiet and peaceful. Have a great weekend U4
How exciting for all of you!! A new house!! And close to Indigo Blu! Cool! Calgary has had almost 25 cm of snow since Monday and it is still snowing now: it is -8C but with the windchill feels like -18C.warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦
Talk about meant to be! 🍾🥂Absolutely fabulous news. Congratulations! 🎉And it’s wonderful that everyone agreed to wait until after the holidays to start the shuffle. I’m sure your parents will be ecstatic, and the boys are going to love the canal! Hugs ❤️🤗
Brilliant news, congrats. What a lovely new house you have acquired. I'm sure you're going to have fun decorating it, right up your & Ian's and alley. Must be a huge relief re the folks as well. All very exciting 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on selling your house & buying your forever home for Mum, Dad, Ian & yourself & well as Mr Bentley & Nip. 🥳 That was quick, the stars aligned for everyone, so it was meant to be. 🥰 Wow, snow in November, crazy stuff. We are currently going into summer in Cape Town - South Africa. Yet, we had rain the morning yesterday, followed by lightning, thunder & rain again, in the afternoon. Crazy weather here, too. So happy for you & your family, Mike. A new beginning & new adventures in the New Year 2025. 🎉🎉🎉
Wow! I live in Minnesota and we haven't that much snow. But we do tend to put up our Christmas lights now - before the temperature goes into the below zero range.
Congratulations 🎉 wow that was quick everythings moving quickly for you! The new house looks perfect and you will have so much fun making your house into a home.isnt retford close to clumber park?the boys will love that,a nice wander round the lake duck spotting.good old hull always plenty to do there
Exciting times! There's folks putting up holiday decorations here also. Usually, I'm for waiting until our Thanksgiving but somehow I'm ready now. Thanksgiving is as late as it can be this year so actually in a couple of days in other years, we'd be decorating anyway so maybe those folks are so early after all.
Oh Mike don't play with my old brain cells like that. The first 5-ish minutes of this weeks vlog was the ending to last weeks vlog and I was so confused at first......LOL. Buying and selling a house all in the same day must be a record.
Congratulations on the sale /purchase of the houses! That just seems so fast, but, it takes a while for the dust to settle over the entire transfer process. We, too, have our first snow, only 2 inches so far, but more expected overnight. And, we also have neighbors with the Christmas lights shining! I think people here in the US are looking for something to celebrate.
Congratulations on the house situation. It was pretty painless it seems and you have a fair while to sort and pack up. As to the white stuff, I was watching a video by WalkaboutwithRob, a Brisbane man who normally films walks around Brisbane and southeast Queensland but who is in Huddersfield atm. He was enjoying his first encounter at age 51 with snow and saying it is early in the year for it to snow. He is loving it and from time to time the child Rob showed through. I am glad it is not me there. I was over snow a long time ago and am glad I don't have to live with it any more. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely looking house and Retford is a nice little town. You will be near Clumber park for some great walks with the boys.,and it looked like a huge garden, very exciting.
Beautiful snow at night - definitely a Christmas card ! No snow here in Montréal 🤷🏻♀️ Wonderful news for you, Ian and your parents. All the stars lined up to sell and buy two houses in same day
Congratulations! So excited and happy for you and can't wait to see more pictures of the new house. Just a little jealous of the snow, it looks so beautiful, but at the same time growing up in North Dakota and now living Arizona I'm glad I don't have to deal with it anymore.
Great news on the house front. What a beautiful back garden your new house has, it's massive and the boys will love it! Are you selling your parent's house too?
Congratulations on selling your home and buying your new home. Your new home and grounds look so beautiful and so does the area around your home. 🦆 Does your new home have 3 bedrooms? Is one of the bed rooms on the main floor for your mum & dad?
That is wonderful news. Congratulations to everyone. I love what you have done to the house and garden you have now so I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your new house. The dogs are going to love that big backyard.
The lady who’s getting your house is getting a beautiful decorated and taken great care of property. I hope your new place is perfect for you.
Congratulations on the beautiful new home. It's exciting and I'm happy for all of you. I bet the dogs will love that wonderful yard.
