End of the summer. So, where next?



It is mid-September already. Jamie is a confident little pre-schooler. Isaac is a smiley 5 month old watching people around him, shouting with pleasure. These are the sunflowers that I planted with Jamie in the veg. patch from the seed voucher I won earlier in the year. Also you can just make out a Dahlia that I transferred from our old house which has now been sold. That is a strange thing. Money in the bank and no next  house jumping out at us from the selection. It is so nice renting here at Little Mead as it is rural and quiet and still connected with people. I still have bouts of missing the island though: the small distances between island towns and villages, the undisturbed wildlife, the always-present sea to escape to on a hot day. We could go back there this weekend but Samuel is not motivated to. I don't mind as Tuppence the chicken is literally on her last legs and I want to look after her. I also have some questions to answer for Baby Hampshire so that a few of my words will be published.
