I’m considering moving back home,the dream is over.
Last week Mrs S passed away aged 52. We live here with our 2 children 22 and 24 years old and Nic’s Dad.
I don’t worry about moving back as such,I worry about what would happen if something happened to me.The kids couldn’t afford to run the house anymore than my FIL,so would forced to sell and have no support.
TBH my thoughts are scrambled at the moment and I have no plan,we just started a new business which I don’t want to do on my own,it was our business but then,everything was “ours” not mine or yours.
I will probably add to this when my mind isn’t a jumbled mess.

Well things are moving along now.
We accepted an offer for the house and are in the UK house hunting for a week.
We started packing up months ago as it gave us something to do and it also helped us with our grief and loss.
So,Cheshire here we come!
It’s been an eventful 15 years but I’m ready to leave it all behind and start fresh,only taking my good memories and selling all the crap we accumulated.

Well ,here we are,back in the UK.
On Thursday last,I got the call from my solicitor we would complete on Friday.The cleaner was already in so all was good there.I made the decision that was it,Friday was D-day,I was off.
Got up at the crack of dawn and started loading the van.
I was done for 12.30 but the cat had other ideas,she waltzed back in at 2.30 and was promptly bundled into the cat carrier.
That was it,I locked the door and left.
I stopped at Vierzon for fuel and booked the 1.16 tunnel which actually left at 12.30 because there was only 4 vehicles on it( not a typo).
I had to stop a couple of times because I was nodding off but better safe than dead.
My french house should have sold last week but the buyers bank are playing silly buggers so who knows when it will go through. I have to go back for the acte final,it’s a pain but hey ho.
I have been back a weekend,to the same Cheshire village we left 15 years ago and it feels right,everything is familiar and my family all live here.
I don’t have any regrets moving back,it’s the right thing for me as life in France just wasn’t the same without Mrs S.
