Gone

The house is empty. It looks shabby and ashamed in its nakedness.

It is no longer our house.

We are driving away.

I am crying.

  1. I cried those tears when we moved from berkshire to N Yorkshire - It is the start of a new beginning

  5. Oh, I'm sad for you.

    The opening of a new chapter inevitably involves the closing of the old one. Gain, but also pain.

  7. I know exactly how you feel, I just left my home to move back into my parents house (It was the house id grown up in for the past 20 years, they bought a new house and I rented the family home off of them but had to leave as couldnt afford it now)

    Im sure your new homewill make you feel very welcome :-) look at it this way, at least you didnt have to try and fit a 4 bedroom house into a single bedroom...I'm trying to do it now and its just not happeneing lol

  8. I hope you're getting settled into the new place. Moving is hard - places can hold such memories x

  12. It's very odd reading all your comments now, three weeks later. It was an awful day. I was terribly upset and re-reading the post and looking at the pictures (there's another one of me, with my face all crumply but I'm not going to post that) brings it back. But in a weird way because we are very happy here already. So far so really good...

    Miss Searles - oh my goodness! how on earth are you coping with that? We've actually got the opposite problem. We need a LOT more furniture!

    Young Mummy - they do don't they? And that house was the one in which so much that is important about my adult life had happened.

    Fiona - managed to avoid the Irn Bru, shortbread, tablet and macaroons so far... although B bought a haggis pie in the farmers' market this morning...

    Motherhood and Anarchy - thank you. And somehow that means even more, given how many and how varied are the places you have left.

    Mwa - the funny thing was that I was. We stopped off with some friends on the way up and that break really felt like a real break. No more old house, on to the new...

  13. Livi - it is funny, as you say, how quickly this has become home. We felt as though we were on holiday for the first few weeks, but it's definitely home now.

    Barbara - thank you.

    Iota - I know. What I really wanted (and if I'm honest still want) was to live both here and there at the same time. Can I have my cake and eat it too, while I'm at it?

    Diney - it was, and it is...

    Mummeeee - Thank you! Move itself was about as painless as these things can ever be thank goodness!

    Notes to Self - thank you! Although it had to wait a bit longer than anticipated... we got here and they hadn't moved out!

    MadHouse - that's absolutely it. I really feel like this is the start of a whole new part of my life. And things are already different as a result.

I know. I'm sorry. I hate these word recognition, are you a robot, guff things too, but having just got rid of a large number of ungrammatical and poorly spelt adverts for all sorts of things I don't want, and especially don't want on my blog, I'm hoping that this will mean that only lovely people, of the actually a person variety, will comment.

So please do. Comments are great...
