A Happy Rory tonight..

We had an unexpected e-mail from the Bannermans today! Technically speaking, they’re not supposed to correspond with us directly, they’re supposed to go via the agency but I think they, like we, have realised that it’s best to bypass the agency completely.
They just wanted to give us an update and say they’re really enjoying it now and even though they’re heading into Australian winter they are having a blast and have no regrets whatsoever. They don’t want to decide too early, but it seems highly unlikely, or “almost impossible to conceive” as they put it, that they will ever be moving back to England. They also told us how delighted they are with us being in their home, and reiterated their desire for US to have first refusal on it “when, not if” they decide to sell up.
I hadn’t really been thinking about it, but it’s fantastic to know they won’t be coming back anytime soon! I don’t think I could have handled Philippa having to be in Moving Mode when she’s also locked fully into Wedding-Prep Mode. That would have been too much to bear. Now, it looks like we can forget about all things housey for at least another year, and then look to buy it when they’ve made their final decision.
Good stuff.
