Well, this is the last post from the study which has seen so many years of them produced.
We are about as ready as an ostrich is to join a swallow migration. Chaos reigns, and if it rains as well, that will really put the seal on it. Or a grampus?
This picture emerged while packing – a reminder of setting out for a race in our first Flying Fifteen.
And I must subject you to a farewell Really Awful Rhyme from ‘White Horses’, as our no-longer-home has been known:
I don’t eat choc-o-late, I must insist –
What section of that statement have you missed?
Though seemingly a puzzle, it
Just serves to say I guzzle it,
With nifty twisty actions of the wrist.

You’re awfully quiet, with ne’er a peep,
Not a single missive, or even a Tweet.
Hope all’s well, and the move went fine,
Write up a post when you have the time?

The horror of move would turn Steven King green,
And subsequently pretty busy we’ve been;
I hope to return fairly shortly anon –
Am glad that somebody has noticed I’d gone!

Long as you’re live an’ kickin’
And not in a ditch all stricken,
Will await such tales of woe,
Akin to Edgar Allen ….whatisface.

It’s tough, I’m sure and no amount of platitudes can sort that out.
But you’re doing it because needs must, so therefore it must be the best decision.
It’ll all come right in the wash, as they say in Northern Ingurland.
All the best, Col.

Here’s to only good things in the new spot – may you find at least as much if not more happiness in the next as in the previous…
