Things can change but for the better

Jamie with his Dad at Xmas Dancing Tots 2012, Quay Arts, Newport, Isle of Wight.

The house we were going to rent got taken off the market so we now have a better option to work on: a 3 bedroom semi in the village of Hambledon which has a garden and a paddock for the chickens, at least for the short time in the next year or so. It's Sunday and Samuel is just escaping from work at 5.30p.m. This will at least be in the South Downs where we decided it would be a nice place to live. I'm researching the area more. In Hambledon on a clear day there are places where you can see the Isle of Wight! That will keep my connection to the sea then! As I write this Jamie is watching "beebies" for a good hour or so having had some houmous and bread for tea. We went to the Advent Carol service together at Newtown earlier and also visited Sainsburies which had a charity santa earlier. I'm going to knit for a  bit until Samuel phones to tell me what he is doing trying to make it back to the island.
