My brother and I took time out to spread dads ashes together on top of the Westbury White Horse. Apart from being extremely cold and windy (!) we had great views over Wiltshire and said our final goodbye to dad which will be complete if I get a clear night and send up a lantern with the following poem:
"Into the freedom of wind and sunshine
we let you go
Into the dance of the stars and the planets
we let you go
Into the winds breath and the hands of the star maker
we let you go
We love you, we miss you, we want you to be happy
Go safely, go dancing, go running home."
Love you dad xxx

Leaving Party
Had a week of goodbyes already :(
Girly lunch with Emma & Chloe which was really nice - managed to hold myself together...just!
Jennah was very sad leaving school and some of her friends also upset - this I could NOT handle and ended up in tears too! anyway we soon forgot tears as we had a party to organise.
So after an odd day of saying goodbye to my boss, collecting dads ashes and decorating the local pub for an early halloween party I finally had the chance to let off some steam!

(Was a nice card though!)
Here's to the next 10 my love, a new journey awaits us xxxxxxxx

An Emotional time
Sat watching 'Wanted Down Under' and I'm a complete mess!
So excited about the move but just thinking about saying goodbye is really tugging at my heart-strings.
It's going to be so hard, but I'm happy that we're going to get a chance to say goodbye properly and have a party with everyone (once we know for sure!!).
So many things going around my head, happy, sad, anxious, excited.
I know we are doing the right thing.
As a reminder to myself I went to Oxford Street in London on Monday and it was so depressing - Grey, Noisey, Dirty and looking very sad for itself as lots of roadworks. Plus on the way home I ended up having to sit on an arm rest on the last train because it was so busy - fair enough this was because of a festival, but not the first time I've had to stand/sit in an awkward place on the train!
Another reminder - I left London at 13:20 and got back at 16:30!!
Here's to the '30 minute city' :)
