?Is there more to life?

Well that is the question that springs to mind.  Spring brings us uncertainty and life on hold.

Our property is up for sale but as yet no offers after several months and viewings.  We decided to move up from Dibden near the New Forest to Totton or Eling to be near our son and his family.  'Right Move' and agents provide lists of properties that we consider and sometimes view but we cannot make offers for till we can get an offer for ours!  Several properties have slipped through our fingers that were worth making an offer for, but not to be.

Health issues for both of us seem to take time to resolve.  Some planned visits to hospital and others unplanned occur each month it seems.  A certain loss of freedom is the result.

We had got ready to get up to the boat before Easter and got things together to take when another health issue took the time away.  What can we do but spend time in the garden enjoying the spring and waiting for appointments that never come!  It is early days and hopefully things will improve to let us get away for a while.

It seems that our son and his family may well beat us there to wake up the boat from its winter rest.  Chris is very competent at checking batteries, engine, gas and water systems.  They may be heading north to Fenny Compton for a lunch at the Wharf.

On a more positive note Easter is a celebration of spring and the new life that it brings.

Heads n legs

My brother Brod came over for lunch.  We sat out in the garden enjoying sunshine and chat.  Ann cooked a lovely lunch.

Molly had her toys out!   That yellow duck is not dead yet!
