Our new house

We were in Cape Town last week looking for a new house. After 3 days of driving around looking at places, we finally settled on a house we had seen on day 1 in Claremont. It has 3.5 bedrooms, a study, nice living area, nice bathrooms, small kitchen and small garden. It has wooden floors, nice light rooms and an overall good feel to it. The location is great for a couple reasons:

Our house is a couple roads away from Jonathan's and Adam's houses so Brad can lift club to Open Voice next year. This is great for the environment, great for the boys and great for me (who gets Telburt a couple days a week)
At the end of our road is: the Curry Pot (which sells everything from tea masala to a hundred varieties of incense and who knows what else!), 2 pizza places, a chinese takeaway, a juice bar, a great bakery and coffee shop, a bottlestore that closes at 8pm (not that we're big on drinking in our family, but still), and a cute furniture store. Oh and Kenilworth centre is about a 5-10 min walk away.
There is a play school about 6 houses down the road. Not that we're planning on putting Finley in a play school any time too soon, but its nice that there's one so close.
And Claremont sounds like a cool place to live from the people we've spoken to so far

We were supposed to take photos of the house the second time we went to look at it but forgot. Watch this space though.

This was taken at the abovementioned furniture store. Finley relaxing in a swinging cane chair. He cried in protest when we had to take him out.
