Closure!

I am now the proud owner of.....my own house!!

It's five months, almost to the day, since I had my lovely day out with the Judge, but it has taken until now to get it all signed sealed and delivered.  It was funny being back in the Solicitors office again, more signatures (I lost count after about 50 and the last one looked nothing like the first one) but at least this time it was for a positive event. 

Somebody somewhere in the Land Registry office, in a room full of ledgers will have to get out one, beat the dust off it, find the page, and then........put my name in!!  Woo Hoo!!  I wonder can I go and look at it, just to gaze and ponder.  Or, I wonder is it gone all hi-tech in there now and you could actually look it up on a computer.  Naw, that just doesn't conjure up the same image.  I prefer the one of a little bald man with white gloves, looking for the ledger, finding it, dusting it, searching the pages, and then taking out his fountain pen, (or better still his quill) and putting my name in, and then stamping it with some wax. (do they still do that?)  Now I'm happy!  I'm in the book!

Drink anyone.......??
