But I was very, very organised with all aspects of the move - packing, closing utility accounts, getting the cat's vaccinations up to date! - so perhaps the transition was easier because of that too.<br /><br />I usually get all moany around about end of Jan/beg of Feb when the greyness of a British winter starts to take effect. If I can manage a holiday around that time - somewhere warm with blue sky - then I can usually keep the moans at bay.<br /><br />I'll keep you to that sausage-sharing promise : )Lynnehttp://www.lynnerees.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-89070972127802812392011-11-08T05:27:11.542+00:002011-11-08T05:27:11.542+00:00I just posted to my blog and felt a curious desire...I just posted to my blog and felt a curious desire to wander over here! Like a sausage your blog called to me - and I have not been here since September! Ah the blogoshere full of pit falls. Anyway you talk of many things BUT I am drawn to how you handle the transition of moving. You seem somewhat surprised, and that is how I will finish. I am surprised as fall heads toward winter I should be moaning. But no I write a blog post about being content. I wonder if I would be as content to move? I would love to come have sausage with you- can you procure another? xo teriterihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348440908615750286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-76482922283113212052011-11-06T17:02:09.534+00:002011-11-06T17:02:09.534+00:00It's good to hear that you are settling back i...It's good to hear that you are settling back into life in the UK without missing France too much. I think I'd find it hard after 14 years in France to go back but there are things I miss, like decent customer service and Cumberland sausages!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-45024152405382013752011-11-06T10:33:21.983+00:002011-11-06T10:33:21.983+00:00Hi Jim - ah, phoneboxes...

I don't think I can wait until I get stateside! <br /><br />Love your haiku too - our house move has been more wispy, leggy spiders who move at the speed of mist.Lynnehttp://www.lynnerees.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-56273374235028595532011-11-05T21:12:47.292+00:002011-11-05T21:12:47.292+00:00Phonebox

For times when we are separate from family, friends or lovers.<br /><br />Hope you are settling in OK. We will be back in England for Christmas, then back here to start gardening with a vengeance. Sometime next year we may be in the same position. Depends on how things go in the property market. <br /><br />JimJimhttp://www.notyethere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-86184988014016551972011-11-04T20:44:13.454+00:002011-11-04T20:44:13.454+00:00Wow , I didn't know you moved!
