I know, I know…. I haven’t posted since wishing you a happy Christmas but I do have a good excuse, honest!
Just before Christmas we sold our cottage. We’d had it up for sale for almost a year but with the house market being in the doldrums, we hadn’t attracted any serious interest. That all changed very quickly indeed just before Christmas after a lovely couple came to view, loved it, and offered to buy it straight away!
You may wonder why we would want to sell our cottage, which we bought as a derelict shepherd's bothy twenty five years ago and renovated ourselves. Well, with our three lovely sons all grown up and seeing
the big wide world as theirs for the taking, Mr JH and I have decided to sell
up/downscale and age disgracefully by having some adventures of our own rather than putting our feet up by
the fire.
We did manage to have a fabulous last family Christmas at the cottage. But the
moment January arrived we were in packing mode. So now we have packed up and moved out - our exciting adventure
has begun. We have very luckily managed to find a place to stay temporarily, until we
decide where we’d like to base ourselves. We have moved from our cottage in the hills to a lodge house down by the side of the river. The river is one of the best in Scotland for fishing salmon and river trout and I must admit that I do love the sight and sound of the water thundering past us - from a safe distance of course - here on the river bank!
And the writing? Well, I’m just about to start writing
a new full length novel for publication later this year and I can do that just
about anywhere – same goes for blogging – so if I’m not here as much as you’d
