15. All Change

Well, what a year it has been, with one thing and another. I won't bore you with the shenanigins around Covid19 that affected both MrsJ and myself, suffice to say we have survived the various lockdowns and both had our first vaccination, so are feeling reasonably chipper. The other major event has been the search for a new home. MrsJ decided that we needed to move nearer our daughter and our grandchildren so a move some 30 miles away, to Sudbury, has been on the cards for some months now. What our son feels about this (he only lives some ten minutes away with his family) is unrecorded, but I was overruled in the decision.

We've finally found and organised a new home. A small bungalow in a pleasant quiet estate, seemingly full of elderly residents, on the edge of Sudbury and are moving tomorrow. Actually, most of our possessions have gone bit by bit over the last three weeks while we went over to prepare the place, and only the larger furniture bits and pieces need to go. At the moment our new 'library' looks like this:




 

Somewhere in that lot are my books and files. It may be a while before I get access to them properly.

I do have individual access to a large wooden shed, as the property has two in the garden. MrsJ says I can have the big one for a railway while she has the small one for her gardening. No argument from me. The electrician has been and installed lighting and adequate power points, so the next thing is to insulate and line the building. This is going to take a while and I envisage it to be June before I can start construction. 

I have a number of ideas, these will be revealed shortly. Now it's time for bed and a good nights sleep ready for a busy day tomorrow.
