Well for heaven's sake, it's over two years since I last visited. So much has happened. The kitchen is finally in the bathroom is done all the walls are plastered and now it's up for sale!! So I am staying with CMJ and life is on its head. Last time I was here the kitten was new, she's called Billie and is absolutely lovely and is now 2 and a half years old, now there's a dog as well! He's a nightmare at the moment but he's only been here for a month and was a rescue dog so he's allowed to be a nightmare for a while. He's tiny - a pomeranian - and we can't imagine what his last owners were all about because he has gorgeous accessories but one of them had trodden on his leg and broken it and they didn't take him to the vet so it mended but didn't fuse properly. The vet said that he is now considered deformed!! Poor baby. Still he is very settled and happy here and he can be trained properly because he's only a year old. CMJ and CMM have been staying in France with friends for a week so it's just been me and the pets, we've had a lovely time but am missing the girls. Tonight I'm going with a friend on a ghost hunt. We've been before to this medieval church which is supposed to be haunted, but tonight at midnight we go into all souls' day and she wants to see the souls going up to their rest. We'll see. Anyway, this means the family return while I'm out so am leaving a chilli for them, they'll settle in, eat and go to bed. I would really have liked to be here when they get back but look forward to tomorrow when I can give them a hug.
Living together is fine and if we had a larger place we could do it permanently, but this 2 bedroomed house isn't big enough so it's just temporary, they love that I do all the cooking and I love that I don't have to do the housework but also love being with them for a while.
Well, I have to go and make a chilli and some scones - it's so very cold I hope they have an ok journey back to the south coast from Bristol airport which is where they'll touch down later in the day. I'll be back to check in again soon.
