Our house - in the middle of our street!

So we just thought we'd show you a pic of the house we're renting. Ian took a trip up to Island Bay to take a photo. As you can see, it looks pretty nice.

It's a 3-bed detached with double garage. Two bedrooms are downstairs and the master is upstairs with the living areas. The main reason for this is that sun is an important factor in heating homes over here. Every room in the house has a north-facing window so gets all-day sun, but the upstairs is much sunnier. So they put the master upstairs. There is a Jack-and-Jill bathroom up there too (the one where the shower head comes up the Ian's chin!). Downstairs the bedrooms share another bathroom plus lots of storage space.
He's also taken this photo of the view that's just about 100m from our front door. Just to give you some idea of what we've got in store.

Also check out some of the other photos he's taken from a different angle this time. It's turning out to be a cracking Spring with a dry, warm summer in store. But the weather forecasters here are about as good as the UK...
