Move to Ryegate Cottage

Our new home in Niagara-on-the-Lake (which from here on will be known as NOTL for obvious reasons) has been named Ryegate Cottage by Lorna. Why Ryegate Cottage, you may ask? The first reason would be that we just returned from our second stay in England where everyone names their homes. The second would be that the builder called it a cottage. The Ryegate comes from the name of the street as well as the name of our favourite English town, Rye which is located on the south coast in East Sussex. The move is being set up for Easter Weekend with the help of Brett and Sarah's husband, Paul. A convoy will strike out Saturday with two U Haul trucks, one Jeep loaded to the roof and the Z4 M Coupe, the last of which will be completely useless for the trip but someone will have a fun drive.

Nice blog. What's the connection between Rye and gate?

Now, we will all have to name our homes. Had been thinking of doing it anyway since all the homes in Bermuda were named. Hard being ex-Air Force in a Navy town coming up with something that won't stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

I guess we are all trying to figure out some creative name for our homes. Given the events of the last few weeks, I think ours will have to include some reference to the 6 foot high snow banks!!! I'll keep working on it...
