Well, I find myself at one of those moments of decision. After nearly 4 years living in Newbiggin by the Sea, I find that, despite liking the area, my job and new-found friends that my heart hankers for older friends, family and more familiar surroundings. So ... having thought around and around it for weeks I came to decision. I should do something real to consolidate how I feel. So ...... I put the house on the market .
That was two weeks ago ....
I've looked at houses in Huddersfield and looked for jobs too. It all feels to be a bit weird.
Bottom line is that I have never really felt settled here. Initially, because we were in rented accommodation, I was looking to find a house and feel settled. As it turned out I didn't buy a house until I was on my own again. Maybe at that point I made a mistake and that should have been the time to move back south. I think I was so emotionally weary by that time that I didn't have the inner reserves to make a sensible decision. Maybe I shouldn't have rushed to buy a house, but I did and those things can't be changed. It's so easy to be wise after the event. However I can make changes now. There are so many good things here, but, bottom line, it isn't home.
So, if you fancy buying a very nicely done out terraced house by the sea, just get in touch.
I am glad you are going home mum, I hope that it all moves fast for you, and that when you are home, you find everything you are looking for.
I will miss vising you by the sea, that said, I won't miss the 5/6 hour drive or the £68 train fare!
