| Tess at 15 days old |
The benefice we are going to comprises of several rural parishes that work closely together, deep in beautiful Thomas Hardy country.
- And that's as much as we need to say. We are moving to the next door county (eastwards) and to a lovely rural location. We have lived in the counties either side of Dorset. We have explored and holidayed in Dorset when our boys were much younger and we are looking forward to revisiting old haunts.
So much to do....so much to explore.......so much to plan......so much to pack.......so much to learn!
So long to wait!......The Curate (soon to be Rector) will be licensed in March.
Tess will join us after Christmas and will be our Dorset Dog
How lovely, how exciting. I so look forward to posts from Dorset, which is such a favourite county of mine. Excellent news. Axxx
ReplyDeleteSo much to do - so little time! Thank you for your kind wishes. We have a lot to explore in Dorset.
DeleteWonderful, Harriet. A new job, a new home, a new county and a new dog. What more could anyone ask?
ReplyDeleteThank you Perpetua
DeleteI think I might ask for a little longer days so we can get everything done!
I am so happy to read this, Harriet. Congradulations to all of you! I look forward to stories of Dorset, and Tess' adventures.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks - we are very excited by Dorset and Tess.
DeleteOOoh congratulations. A new adventure! I only "discovered" Dorset this year and love the county. So I look forward to hearing about your new adventures in a new home with you new dog!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I shall be seeking tips about Dorset because I have a lot to learn about the area.
DeleteCongratulations! Dorset is lovely. My parents live there and we love the countryside (and the glorious place names!)
ReplyDeleteThank you _ you will know the area much better than us - does it rain as much as here in Devon?
DeleteHow wonderful for you to finally know what is ahead. I will be looking forward to your adventures in Dorset, as you, the soon to be Rector, and Tess, settle in. Congratulations and blessings.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks - It seemed a very quick few days in which our future was decided. We need to go back and see it all again!
DeleteCongratulations and best wishes for your new appointment ... A new parish, a new title for the Curate, and a new puppy; life doesn't get much better:)
ReplyDeleteHello - Thank you! Lucky you approaching summer! Next year will bring all these new adventures - but please let there be less rain!
DeleteDorset is one of my favorite counties: many congratulations to the new Rector!
ReplyDeleteThank you - but not rector yet just a RIW - a rector in waiting!
DeleteOh my gosh! Congratulations on ALL fronts. It sounds beautiful, and Tess...well...melts my heart :)
ReplyDeleteThank you - we need to go back and visit it all again to see exactly where we are going! Tess is changing all the time - we are so lucky to have her just up the road so we can visit her regularly.
DeleteCongratulations, Harriet. Welcome to Salisbury, Tess. I look forward to beautiful Salisbury pictures.
ReplyDeleteHarriet, I've moved Dreaming Beneath the Spires to http://anitamathias.com/. When you have a moment, please could you update your blogroll with the new URL. Thanks so much, Anita
Hello Anita
DeleteThank you - sorry I've taken so long to update my blog role - I have been using an ipad - with plenty of problems. I'm back on the laptop and copying addresses is so much easier. All is updated now - it's good to have you back!!
