Would strongly advise against moving house just before Christmas but anyway, we did it and survived.
We have swapped our old office with its nice wallpaper and views over a lovely Cornish harbour (well it was more of a “suspicion of a harbour view” in estate agent speak) for a fab rural view out across a farm towards the River Dee and Wales in the distance.
There appears to be some wildlife in your garden. Is that normal?
Sure beats the sound of sirens round here 😉
