We also went to Stamford. I only took a couple of pictures there - it was pretty overwhelming and I hardly knew where to point the camera, so here is the better of the two!
For the benefit of the American branch of the family, when we move our new postal address will be Boston. Here is a picture I took in Boston.
Despite being just to the east of Maryland, and up a bit from New York, we are not emigrating! There is a memorial to the Pilgrim Fathers, but that is because this is the Boston that they started from.We have found the house that suits us precisely. The sale is "subject to contract", so I will say no more now except that it is situated EXACTLY as I had hoped to find - in a small hamlet, but very close to the main village, which has all the services that we need. With neighbours, but not too many. With a large enough garden on good soil. With a walk-in pantry in the kitchen. That last one has been puzzling my other half. He realises that it is a "good thing" but is amazed at the way every woman I mention it to says "Oooooh!"
Shan't mention the socks I knitted except that they will forever be known as my housebuying socks.

I greatly envy you your walk-in pantry. You may not have noticed, but my mother-in-law has one, and I want it.
I didn't notice that my co-Mom-in-law has a walk-in pantry. I did feel most shame-makingly covetous at her walk-in closet, but we couldn't have found one of those on our budget!
congratulations and fingers crossed for successful completion!
