Now hang on a minute but this can\u2019t be right. Mum and Dad have found some houses they want to look at as I was telling you. Anyway, they are trying to sort out when they can go. I said, \u2018Give me a minute and I\u2019ll check my diary.\u2019 As you know, I\u2019m a busy girl and I do have things already booked in. That was when they dropped the bomb shell. I am not included in the initial visit. How can they consider deciding where we are going to live without me sniffing it out with them? It\u2019s unthinkable. I was expecting to be representing the views of all three of us. I\u2019m Mum\u2019s sidekick. I go everywhere with her\u2026 except house hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh we\u2019ve all sat around the dog bed and drawn up our list of prerequisites. We want a bigger garden, with trees and wildlife. Shadow wants underfloor heating to lie on. We don\u2019t want lots of stairs so that Shadow can\u2019t be part of everyday activities, you know the sorts of things. One of the houses we looked at seemed perfect, except for needing some better fencing, I\u2019d marked that as an action point for Mum. It LOOKED perfect, down a narrow country lane a safe idyllic setting. Oh looks can be deceptive. That would be a 60 mile an hour narrow country lane with a large waste recycling plant next door but one and heavy vehicles going past the house at all hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, even without Shadow being such a reactive dog, I could see some of the problems with that one. It has been deleted from the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I forgot to tell you that Babeli is pregnant. It is wonderful news and we\u2019re all very happy for her and Ron (the father). They won\u2019t be born for another few weeks but we\u2019ll bring you more news when they are. It\u2019s funny to think that Alfie\u2019s old girlfriend Bella is going to be a grandmother. He\u2019d have been very happy for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
