……we move down to Essex this week and so have spent the last few days saying farewell to Stafford and getting used to having a car. It’s always scary buying a new, old car and this was no exception. However after a few teething problems things seem to be settling down and we are finding all sorts of little extras that we didn’t even know we had e.g. a sun roof. How could you miss that you ask? Dunno, but we did! Guess it was something to do with the interior cover thingy that slides back and then today we found that if you pressed a button on the interior light…..it actually opened up and ‘voila’ open air sky!!!!! It’s diesel, so sounds like a traction engine, but runs really well. We are beginning to relax and really like it. Phew!
Went for a lovely long walk tonight and the thing about England is you don’t have to go very far to be in the country and before we knew it we were rambling over paddocks and fields with hedgerows and wild flowers and cows and squirrels and mole holes and horses and goodness knows what else, now I’m not a country girl, but it seemed very civilised. Speaking of which our new home and job in Essex is 35 minutes from London by train….but more about that later……..Love getting your emails, wish it was easier to comment on the blog but never mind, keep those emails coming. By the way, the photos only loosely relate to the topic, they weren’t taken in Stafford because I forgot to take the camera tonight, however I took a bit of artistic – ‘artistic’?? license because I really like them……..the deer and wild flowers were taken in Scotland and the monkeys in a ‘Monkey Forest Park’(that’s another blog in itself) we visited on the weekend.
Miss you heaps xxxxx
