Beginnings and endings

Yesterday I woke up and started to cry. I knew it had to start sometime; the sadness of leaving, the fear of a new adventure. Yesterday I drove Remi down to Brattleboro to catch the train back to Connecticut where he was meeting with his friend's family who are taking him up to Maine for a week. It was the sadness of knowing that Remi wasn't coming back that unsettled me.



Brattleboro is a great town...we've always taken the the detour which avoids the town when driving up or down, so I've never spent any time there, but it has funky little cafes, art galleries and the most amazing second hand store (3 levels). We had fun having a look around until Rem caught his train.


Only 7 more sleeps until we leave. The house is coming along...I finished painting as much of the outside as is going to get done today. Some more landscaping and a few inside bits and pieces to get done, then packing and cleaning before we leave. There will be lots of photos of the house inside andnout before we leave, but for now, this is where we stand, outside at least...

    1. Mum, we are so busy over the next week or so. I'd rather talk to you when we get to SG... We should have internet when we get into our apartment, so we could even video chat there. As it is, I will be running around so much until we leave...

  3. Can imagine lots of mixed emotions...but eventually that seems to be what life is about for those of us who have a go.
    love
    Dad (thinking of you, always...hopefully some new art photos on my blog in about half an hour)

  4. So sad Georgia especially leaving your lovely new house. I can imagine how you're feeling. But excited too I expect at the thought of your new adventure. You are so positive and bubbly that you will settle down adn make friends in no time.

    Amber was wondering what Oscar is going to do (not go with you she was imagining)?

    Don't forget to send me your new address .............

    lots of love to you all

  5. Hi Simmy. i'm not sure I have your email address in my ipad.... Oscar is coming with us, until he sorts out what he wants to do. Last year was hard for him, and he didn't end up applying for olleges in the US (because things were so uncertain for us) although that is still what he wants to do. So he's taking a gap year of sorts, to work out what he's going to do and play some rugby. We want him to go to Uni in Aus ( for the cost difference if nothing else), but that may take a lot of convincing.

  6. What an emotional time! I feel for you, with such a big move. But I guess you've found your way many other times, and it will all work out in the end. Love what you've been doing with your house, btw. :)

  7. Georgia, you have transformed the house. And you have to leave it behind - for an unknown time, I guess. Man loely memories for you there. No wonder you're sad. I'd be very teary indeed. Looking forward to hearing more news....
    Love, Lyn xxx
