The decision has been made and we are officially moving to London.
Now that the wheels are in motion, I've been getting a lot of questions. So today I'm doing a Frequently Asked Questions about our Move to London. The pictures don't go with the topic, they're just some of the things I've been enjoying this spring in DC.

Q: What are you going to do with the house?
A: We have found a family who will live in Monkey Grass Hill during our absence. I'm not sure if the wife will blog about her experience and projects around the house or not.
Q: Where are you going to live?
A: We don't know exactly yet. Definitely central London and somewhere close to Regents park. I'm told it's a little "less urban" and greener in that part and that's what I'm looking for.
Q: When will you get your place?
A: I'm headed back to London for a 2 day whirl wind house hunting trip in about a week. I'll try to blog my own little "House Hunters International" post for you.

The one that "got away" from the deer |
Q: What does Drew think about the move?
A: Some days he's very excited and other days he says he doesn't want to move because he'll miss his friends. (I know exactly how he feels.)

"black tulips" I plated last fall. Turns out they're really more purple |
Q: What about school?
A: We've enrolled him in an International school and we are very excited about it. The class sizes are smaller and they use and "inquiry based learning" which we think will be amazing for Drew.
Q: What are you taking with you?
A: Don't know yet. I have to find the place we'll be living before I know what will fit. I do know that I'm not supposed to bring any electronics. So, none of my lamps will be making the trip.
Q: Are you going to start blogging again?
A: I think I will have a lot of stories and pictures to share as I work through a transcontinental move. But blogging as Monkey Grass Hill doesn't seem to make sense once we're over there. I'm thinking about just starting a new one to chronicle my European experience once we make the move. Got any good names for me?....

Pond cleaning went so much faster this year with my assistant's help. It's a very dirty job! |
In the meantime I've been enjoying the warmer weather here and my last chance (for a while) to work in my garden. Both ponds were cleaned and are up and running again.
I'm feeling much better about the move now and I'll be even more excited once I know what our new home will look and feel like.

The garden is looking beautiful and full of life. I'm really going to miss it. |
Stay tuned, we're about to take flight!
