Had 2 Lovely "Funsters" stay for a few day`s...

@2spritelyislanders Sue & Pete and their lovely dog`s..... Only sorry the weather had not been a bit better and wish I could have spent more time with them..

Have a safe onward journey you two or 4.. :hugs:

Which brings me onto one of our big decisions in our troubled lives..

In a couple of weeks we have decided to put (Black Down View) this place on the market...

It will be another sad day for us, one for all the work I have put in to make the place a run down relic to what it is today, two because it is some thing I have always wanted.... a place with a bit of land...

But for us two to rattle round in a 4-5-6 Bed roomed home, and the running cost`s to keep it up to scratch and heated will make us slaves to just keeping a roof over our heads.... which even so we both love it here... we still want to get away in another M-home, this place (The Bungalow) is literally way to big..

It has a lot of good memories outweighed by the bad..

We are going to set the four grandchildren up for their future, be they buy a house each or squander it... that`s up to them..

I have sold my Trike, and a lovely gentleman came and took my little Suzuki Grand Vitara (The car Judy decided to play bump a cars in, and slide it down the lane on it`s side..:doh:) of my hands a couple of days ago and drove it back to Kinross..

I have the "Swift Challenger up for sale, along with the Mitsubishi Shogun Warrior... if they sell .. ok.... if not I shall use them as a bargaining tool when we buy a new M-home..

Up until all this happens we are still open to visitors (Camping).. but will not in fairness to you take bookings in advance of say a couple of months..

I would not like to take bookings and then turn round and say.. "Sorry" we have sold... you cannot come..

Once we have sold... unless the new owner want`s them.... I will be selling oodles of gear... bedroom furniture Brand new TV`s.... 1 year old Tractor with Hedge Trimmer attachment, 6ft Topper grass cutter, very clean 1 barrow Electric Cement Mixer..... the list will be endless endless. and most items will be no more than 18 months old.. And cheap`ish..

Thanks to the 34 visitors that have been and stayed with us, be it for a day or two or as some a week or more...

Our new place will have plenty of room for any visitors, but be near Weymouth... we are going to look at a nice place tomorrow, as long as our stand in Nurse does not let us down..

Thanks
Maurice..

Although we have not actually met I have followed your trials and heartbreak over the last few months and sincerely hope that you get settled with a new place and that it is all you wish for, you must be due a bit of good luck sometime soon.

Good luck with a smooth sale and purchase @old-mo
How is your grandson doing after the car accident?

We had a text from one of the eldest.. saying they were putting a steel brace round his neck and shoulders and sending him home.. :Eeek:

So we can only assume... yes he broke his neck in three places but not as bad as they first thought..

Afraid we don`t get much up to date information only from kids.. :frowny:

Sorry to hear that your selling up but I can see your point, it will be a large place for 2.
Hopefully you will find a nice place and get another Motorhome.
Best wishes to you all.

You can keep running but you'll never hide.
The "Joke Police" will still come for you

I think I saw you yesterday when you went to view the new property?

I know exactly what you mean about a too big house, the upkeep etc.. Exactly what I had in France. You'll find the place that feels right, I'm sure.

I suspected as much Mo and can totally understand all your reasons for wanting to get a new home ... hope it all goes well for you.

(Not to put a downer on this but be careful of the 'deprivation of assets' and inheritance tax rules if you give large sums away.)

I've just realised the real reason for this ... you're afraid of the ghosts who live in the hidden railway carriage! :D

Crikey Mo, you're changing properties faster than me this last decade. Fully understand the reasons and wish you well in your endeavour, I'll drive down in the next couple of months to see it before you go Mo.

My best to Judy and Paul, pecker up Maurice....... Griff
