July 26th 2024 Completion Day Yuri's description of Tom's and her first house as 'quirky' is apt. A Grade II listed shop in the centre of Salisbury that has been beautifully converted into a two bedroomed house, it has a wonderful selection of rooms with old beams and floors, ceilings and walls that pride themselves on being not quite straight, a treacherous stairway that is going to provide hours of fun when new furniture arrives, a beautifully appointed kitchen and an outhouse that is going to be a perfect office. For a first home, I feel that its purchase has been remarkably free of the usual headaches, although Tom and Yuri may not agree. Completion was today and the happy couple have managed to move in with the minimum of essentials (including a sleeping bag and mat!) before Tom starts work at Salisbury Hospital on Monday. Yuri has an interview soon for a Physician Associate position in the Accident & Emergency Department at the same hospital.
