it's so quiet ...

29 August 2011

One of my many medical conditions is hay fever, well, sort of.  With me it's an all year round thing not just a spring/summer thing.  The wind can also cause me problems too.  So when we handed over Bella and Rusty to their new owners in Newark it was the wind making my eyes run, not handing over our beloved dogs!  Now we sit here and it's so quiet.  No yapping when everything goes past the house; no running around having a mad half hour; no jumping up wanting a fuss and love ... I MISS ME DOGS ;-(((   

Yes, I do miss them but we just can't look after them properly now.  If we had know how our health would have worsened over the last 12 months we wouldn't have got them.  We know that they have gone to a good home now and will be well looked after - but guilt is still there.

We have now booked ourselves into the Fairways Hotel in Blackpool.  I stayed there before about 2 years ago and it's a great little place.  Anyway, we arrive tomorrow after lunch and we will be there until Saturday morning.  We'll be doing some birding while were up there as well as looking at a couple of properties for when we are ready to leave Dorktown.  I shall also be doing a lot of people watching too - who knows, I might get an idea or two for some stories.  I'll also be doing a bit of research on birding sites for Assignment 1 of the Creative writing course too.

Our baked jacket spuds are in the oven, all the packing is done, now we are just sitting relaxing and playing on our 'puters.  It's such a hard life ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 

Oh yes ... lots of photos to come soon!
