Well Deb, don't worry because you are only in the dark about as much as half of the people in our ward. The other half have been finding out for the past year that we are going to be moving. Michael got a place at the University of Sussex last year to study Ecology and Conservation there. We had looked at it three years before that and felt totally right about that particular uni. He was told two years before he got the place that he just needed some recent study to be accepted onto the course - either their foundation course, which we couldn't see working as it was on a campus elsewhere, or a Biology A-level, which he completed last year. When offered the place, he deferred it for a year, which has given us the time we have needed in many ways, not least to continue to address my health.
So now the year is nearly up, and he will begin fresher's week on 29th September down in Brighton, and I guess it would be good if we were down there by then!
We are looking at places to rent down there,and will be able to do that properly after his plumbing course has finished up in Leeds (he is there Monday to Saturday right now and home just for Sundays) so that we can go and take a look at the area. So somehow or other, we will be living near the south coast before long! I have only just thought this week of the accent Peter might all too easily pick up !! Oh well! With enough family around maybe we can avoid it. :oD
I have no details, but will let you know what is going on when I do myself. :o)
I felt recently actually that I should leave the blogging alone for a while and focus on that, and on managing to record these things in my journal first and foremost (they don't often make it there, and a lot of the more personal stuff gets lost from my poor memory along the way). I haven't partly because of birthdays having happened, and partly because it is contact, at least with the one person who regularly looks (thanks Deb :o)!)
If I disappear from view for a while though you'll know why. I've got to get focused!

OK I will Keep that in mind and miss you! Just lets email here and there...I have really enjoyed this and felt like I was more apart of your family! Just keep me informed!
...and it's been nice having you around. :o)
It's not like I'm disappearing. :o) There's still some things I'm going to post soon - would have done already if this week hadn't turned out so busy! So keep looking. It just might not be all the time, and if not you know why and know to STILL keep looking because I'll be back soon. :o)
ok good deal...I wish i was closer so that i could help you with the packing and such...but that would be an expesive trip to help you move! Some day we are going to make it there...hopefully sooner than later!
It'll be fun to see you when it does happen, but I know how expensive it is to go cross-continent on holiday (that's why we've not been in the last seven and a bit years despite having family there we want to get to know, and friends too of course :o)). So I just won't hold my breath! :O)
It'll happen one day though, and I hope we can eventually come to see everybody there. It's bound to be a wedding or something that finally forces it to happen - at least I hope finances could allow that should a wedding happen!
How long do you think it would take our children to understand each other with such different accents and ways? Or even us?! :o)
Well I have no problem Understanding...I have to translate for my hubby sometimes. My kids watch kids shows with kids with english accents all the time! Hopefully that will help! I hope that it ends up being sooner than later!
