Last Goodbyes

Hopefully we have said the last of the last goodbyes for a while.

It all started with the shock of Oddjobs illness and subsequently having to have him PTS, followed by the slightly earlier than expected passing of our best friend Tim and now finally the last goodbye to Flint.

In each case the immense pain of loosing them is repaid a million times by the joys of knowing them.

A huge learning curve of coping with mortality and valuing the lives we have.

Each of them knew how to embrace life and brought so much into ours.

Till we meet again

Home Sweet Home

We moved in the week before Christmas. We didn't actually complete until the Monday after but............ well, it's been a long story.

Mark & I worked very hard & amazingly were ready for Christmas & our first visitors the day after Boxing Day.




Mark even squeezed in a little trip down to that there London village with Devo & came back with a lovely little trophy :)

It was unlike us to have so many problems with things and this moving lark was unusually difficult.

I suppose it wasn't actually moving as that went like a dream in the end but the buying & selling of houses.

Now we are in we are so glad the other properties fell through. Yes I know there we're many of you that kindly listened to my woes and assured me that it would all end well. Thank you :)

So now to decide shall I reveal all now or keep you all interested with a couple of pictures a week.
Not one to spoil things or to show off I go for the latter.

Here's a couple of moving in clips including improvising went you can't find the scissors :)

Rhyme and Kodi help out

And once he saw how it was done Oddjob perfected the technique

And here's a sneak preview of the garden and paddock beyond
