Hi All,

We've finally found a place in Edinburgh, a colony upper in Leith, and
moved in on Friday.

Congratulations Adam! We looked at a couple of colonies in Leith too
(Parkvale Place and Rosevale Place) and they're great buildings. One of the
biggest type of colonies in Edinburgh, with a lot of useable floor space
upstairs (and a loft, unlike our new abbeyhill colony which has the bedrooms
in the loft). Sounds quite a large flat actually with the loft conversion.
Must've missed that one, would have liked to have seen it!

It's actually the Lochend Road colonies, although they're almost
identical (without the bay windows). We were very lucky - got to know
the owners of a place we put in an offer on. We missed out by miles,
but they put us in touch with their neighbour who was interested in
selling. She had a price in mind, we offered it within 24hrs and it
was never advertised...

Completely unrelated to your question (sorry), wife and I will be looking
for some period features for our new place (reclaimed mantle-pieces, that
sort of thing), so is there anything you want me to keep an eye out for?

Thanks for the offer, but not at the moment, no. We are restricting
ourselves to cheap decoration at the moment...

Cheers - Adam...
