Maack, in Britain

Hello all,
Well, we've found a place in Hereford--actually, it's in Upper Lyde, which is a small community 2 miles north of Hereford. We're living in a bach pad on a !!!Farm!!!
That's right, a FARM.
We will post pics later--it's 300 acres with loads of buildings and such, owned by a man named Alan who's been a bit of a saviour, to be frank.
He's helped us with loads of stuff, and has been kind enough to take a chance on a couple foreigners with jobs still up in the air. We owe him some banana bread with choc chips, at least.
I decided to not go to Amsterdam--things have been totally overwhelming and crazy here. The housing market is what most would consider inpenetrable, and to top things off there have been some significant hiccups with my job posting. So, for now, the job as a whole is a bit up in the air. My registration with the GSCC has been stalled, and pieces of paperwork that Julian reported as completed have not been done. I should know more by Friday, but right now it's a little scary.
But, we have a home. And that's all that matters, for now.
Mike has his interview on Monday morning, and we're going to my supervisor's for a BBQ on Sunday afternoon, in Leominster, the community where Mike has the interview. So, he'll get a sneak peek at the bus route/location.
Hope everyone at home is well.
We're missing you, and we're missing Safeway and Save On more than we thought humanly possible.
I thought peopl exaggerated about British Cuisine, but they didn't. The food is all terrible. Even the cheeses slices taste like unknown goo. Uck.
Mike needs to e-mail, and we're jacking an internet signal, so I must go.
Love to you all,
--M
