Jumping hurdles

We have jumped our first hurdle. Today, we signed the contract for the sale of the house. It was fortuitous to say the least - months and months of no interest in the house and then, literally, the day we had to make a commitment to buying the vineyard, a buyer for the house! I am not a superstitious person, but it certainly felt like a sign.
We will have about six weeks to make the shed at the vineyard habitable, pack and move. With Christmas in the middle, this is going to be a frantic time - but you do what you have to do!
I had one bad "what the hell are we doing?" day - but it passed. Now it's onwards and upwards. We have three years to make this vineyard thing work -  to rebuild our brand and sell our wines.
It is a gamble - but life is a gamble.
At least we won't die wondering "what if?"...
