Another sunny day!

We woke up this morning to the second day in a row (third day in total) of glorious sunshine and blue skies. Ahhh....

Today we finally managed to be approved by Virgin Media to have our phone, TV, and broadband internet hooked up. The reason it took so long (usually it should take, say, a few hours!) to be approved was to do with the credit check. Since neither of us have been residents in the UK for the past few years, we had to provide proof of residency in the U.S. from the past few years to proceed with the check. I would venture to say that it was the tenth (and the only Scottish) salesperson we talked to who finally revealed this information!

We enjoyed a long walk from the beach on the west side of Anstruther along to the next village - Pittenweem - today. It felt good to get out of the house and away from the chores of setting up a new life. As we walked and talked we were commenting on the fact that we are only in our fourth day here - yet it seems as though we have been here for much longer...

I am off to watch "Comic Relief Does Fame Academy" on BBC1 while eating a curry prepared by Chef Brian!

Next time on Transistions: A report on the saga of our container...

OK, I have to say that I can only picture Joe v. the Volcano EVERY time you talk about your "container." :) Though I do hope it is not literally afloat on its way to you. I'm quite certain your duvet misses you as much as you miss it!

Hugs,
Katharine

Hey Fi and Brian!

It's fun to to able to picture that walk along the coast to Pittenweem. I'm enjoying reading about your adventure--thanks for putting your thoughts out there.
