Well, you might just be lucky, as from what I've seen of the stats, houses are staying on the market for a long time..I think the average is 200 days.

Everything is crossed for you!
Will you be renting when you first get back? Which area are you headed to?

Re: What had changed when you returned?
We don't say 'crack' in Yorkshire but the term is very familiar meaning either a good laugh or a good old natter. I thought it was Irish though, so I'm surprised to learn they say it in Cumbria. Learn something every day!

Re: What had changed when you returned?
But we go back to Cumbria later this year for another look round and we're already making or plans, clearing our house slowly, fixing things up etc. It's hard sometimes because I really just want to go, but it's not possible just yet so I have to make the best of it.

Re: What had changed when you returned?
The places I want to live are not gloomy in winter at all. I think they're spectacularly beautiful actually. Then again, when I was an art student in Yorkshire, I used to love sitting out on the moors sketching in the fog and rain so I may not be entirely normal.
