will i ever move back?
A CD given to us by our Aunty Liddy has brought me back to this question which has been asked of us so many times since we moved here. While i do miss the sound of the waves crashing on the Southern coast and the movement of the heads, there are alot of things of the former life that i don't miss. The unpredictability of employment is the first to spring to mind, then there was the heat pump, the thick fog. The long drive which used to make no.1 batty (she did get used to it eventually) and how could i forget the south wind which would blow for 5 months of the year, icy cold air which used to wreck havoc on Mrs beans and no.1's health. Then there was the family who was not impressed with the tiny hamlet we were living in. So many things have improved since we moved here. While i never expect anyone to understand why we did it (they still don't i believe) but we did it for us and its worked for us, so we are staying here. Down there is great for holidays but i will never live there again.
