What a lovely update, sounds like everything is going really well so far What was the new school run like this morning? 

9 minutes!

Technically I could cycle in once the weather gets warmer (I'm a total wimp for temperature)

Ah that is perfect! It's so nice to not need to take the car if you don't have to. 

It sounds like things went really well with the move, I'm really delighted for you and your daughter. I'm sure the furry residents will love it when they are allowed out too  

Great news on the additional marking work too!

Yes both cats have taken to camping out on the kitchen windowsill the side wall of the kitchen is entirely windows and gives you a gorgeous view out into the garden. They've been watching all the insects and birds. 

They can go out in 2 weeks but until then they've each found their favourite sunny spots round the house to sleep in. They've taken to both sleeping on my bed during the morning because it gets full sun from 9am- noon. Then the younger one sleeps in my daughters den through the afternoon whilst the older one sits in the kitchen watching birds. 

Daughter has been really enjoying the sun this week- playing in the garden lots and continuing to love her room.

It all sounds so perfect.

Any particular reason the cats can’t go out sooner?  Mine were out within 12 hours of our last move, keeping them in would have driven me (and them) insane.

It's recommended that you keep them in so they can establish the new house as 'home' in their minds and it all smells familiar. Otherwise you risk them going out, getting lost and having nothing familiar to use as a guide to get back to the house. 

I'm going to start letting mine out next week- tbf they're both liking the house and it's very sprawling so they've plenty of room to mooch around in.
