Hurray for Holywood

I drove into Holywood today and met with the woman who rented David this townhouse, Luane, and Connor, an estate agent (=Realtor). Luane and I hit it off and went out for lunch before she sent me to see Connor. She worked as a stock broker in London in the mid-70s, when that was rare for a woman. She's a very confident, opinionated, and worldly woman. And a lot of fun.

Connor set me straight on the joys of buying a home here. Much time is spent shuttling papers between solicitors, who can research deeds at their leisure. Leisure being the operative word. Upshot? We will most likely look to rent an unfurnished house or townhome so we can get our contents out of storage sooner rather than later.
