Tree change #1
I know it’s been a while, but there’s a reason.
The reason is we are moving to the country. No more public transport, silent wrestling for small child space on the footpath, agro motorists claiming the right of way etc etc etc. No more botoxed, tanned women waiting for their focaccias at the local coffee shop, no more, no more, no more.
of course, we could get there and find more of the same.
We are going to a small country town with no jobs, but no mortgage. We want to look at something other than other people’s walls, traffic and the inside of a train window. We want the Squid to know what animals are. We want less pressure.
We will, of course, have to eat. There is that pressure.
We will be moving next door to my best mate. I love her and hope we can continue to love each other as our lives and children mingle together as never before.
I love the NSW town we are moving to. Small, cold, pretty.
I have never lived in the country before, but don’t feel any anxiety on that account.
We are leaving behind this house, which we have had happy, happy, happy times in (and other times), and was the first home of the Squid. We are leaving behind family and friends - but it is at most 3.5 hours away.
It is one of those runaway trains. The decision is made, the house found, this house sold. 33 days to go.
