Life in the Cotswolds begins!

Hello Friends and Family! We're so excited to finally begin our life together in the Cotswolds and we want to share our great adventure with you. We hope this will help keep us in touch with all the people we love across "the pond". To start with, we want to post a few pictures of the beautiful cottage we live in right on the Coln River.

This is the back of the cottage with a traditional "Cotswold stone" wall. The house is semi-dettached and our house goes just to the shed at the end of the wall.



This is the front of the cottage, second chimney from the right. Its so beautiful to sit in our dining room and watch the water right outside the window. We also have friendly ducks and swans that enjoy hanging out with us...although the bread we feed them might have something to do with that.

Right now, the inside of the house has exploded with all of Kristine's stuff, but once she's settled in, we'll post pictures of the interior. Kristine arrived on February 11th and is adjusting to the time change, but already had an interview for a great job with the Research Councils UK. Jason has taken a few days off of work to help Kristine settle in, and we're looking forward to a relaxing Valentine's Day! We look forward to hearing from all of you!

Brad and I are thrilled for you two. We are looking forward to a friendly duck dinner one day. P.S. We'll bring the bread stuffing.

Much love and jealously!
Amy Jo and Brad
