As I said in my previous post, my landlady informed me late last Saturday that she has been given her job back at the local hospital, and wants to come back to Kilmore asap.
I'm pleased for her and look forward to having a friend back in the area.
But it came as a shock to have to move so soon. Still, thanks to my facebook connections, I've already found something really lovely. Grianan is a bungalow in Oban that belongs to people I've known since before I came to the town. They're great friends of another friend, with whom I even considered having a B&B at some point. Sadly, Moira has since left the area, but Liz and Martin still live nearby, about thirty minutes by car north of Oban.
So now I look forward to moving back to Oban, into a smaller house but with a woodburning stove in the sitting room – nice to have on a chilly evening. A guest room will also still be available. Grianan is in a very central location, far less quiet than the Kilmore house, but it will be nice to be nearer my Oban friends and activities – and kinder to my budget, too, and the environment. The location is also a great deal sunnier than in Kilmore, and comes with a nice garden, vegetable and berry patch and all!
If it wasn't for a big translation job, I'd want to move straight away. But it'll have to wait until the owners have moved their things out. Hoping to move on or around 22 October.
Photos will follow eventually – promise!
