On the Market

We have finally got the cottage on the housing market and wait to see how long it takes. We have spent quite a lot of time looking at areas we might like and the usual house porn on the net. The girls are looking forward to searching for a new home as soon as possible but Mike and I like this one.

Mike has just had his left shoulder xrayed as he has had a lot of pain with it since we moved. he may need an op. or just a steroid jag.

I have just been contacted by a lady in Guiding here and hope to have some sort of role before long. I have missed that involvement and particularly my friends in Shropshire Guiding.

January 2008

New Year's eve we spent at the Windswept Cafe having a very good meal entertained by songwriter Tom Dale who sports a bowler hat and fob watch. Tegen stayed at home with friends,less said about that the better.
House was decorated inside and out by the lovely Diane Jobes during the last week of Jan and first of Feb. She did a proper job and i think we got on well.We finally feel that we are a credit to the village and no longer an eyesore. We bought a sweet table and chairs for the courtyard(in the sale of course)and I tidied up and planted the remaining bulbs in containers.
The picture of Tegen is by one of her friends for their photography course

Well it would seem that I am useless at keeping up any sort of diary so here is my second attempt. Lots of things happened at the end of 2007 including the death of Sarah whose children I childminded and whose husband Graham has always been close to my husband in that blokish way. We travelled back for the funeral and discovered a mutual friend was also a friend of Sarah's and I never knew. We had the new window put in at the cottage and the sash windows replaced by the lovely guys from Perran windows. My new car arrived! gorgeous Fiat Panda dynamic skydome in Mambo yellow. Mum had a fall in her house but made a good recovery and seems none the worse.
