The Moore Inn

The life and times of the Moore family

Welcome to The Moore Inn

Well hello there. Haven't written anything for a while so thought I might get back into it. If you're wondering about the title, it's twofold really. A few years ago when we were still in the UK, a friend was moving from London back 'home' to the north east, so we offered him a room at ours. Then as he moved out a few months later, another mate needed a bed for a few nights a week so we took him in. From then on our house became known as The Moorings B&B.

Then when we moved to Australia in '05, one of the first things we bought (despite being skint!) was a bar. I had always wanted to have a bar so when we saw this in a second hand shop for $200, we really couldn't pass it up. Despite having bills to pay and no income at the time. So then The Moorings became The Moore Inn.

The Moore Inn
This old bar has been shifted around 4 houses and spent some time in storage but is about to be moved to its new - and final - home. Now in it's new home, it will play second fiddle to a full on fixed bar (pics to follow) so we don't really know what to do with it. On the one hand the new bar will overshadow it in every way. On the other, this bar has something of a story to it and some sentimental value too. I guess we'll find a place for it because I really can't see us parting with it but who knows.

So we're moving into the new place in less than two weeks. We've been very good the last few weekends and packed most of our crap valuables into boxes ready for the big day - Friday 13th would you believe . We're looking forward to finally getting into our own place again, after 4.5 years of living in other people's. I've got Foxtel and the internet on order but ... er ... not the electricity yet. Ooops, better sort that.

Anyhoo, that's about all I have to say for today. Not much I know but I'm sure I'll find something more interesting to write about next time. Maybe.

Any Red Wine
