Hi blog fans a little late today due to the...
... bidding farewell of my old house in Surrey. Today was completion day and time to say ta ta.
No great shakes really as I sold half the estate a few years ago to pay for the big court case I lost. The saddest bit was saying goodbye to Bob and Jackie who have worked for me for the last ten years. Good people who have thankfully and quite rightly found new positions elsewhere.
It was weird driving there today ten years after my first visit..
I remember it so well. It was a Saturday morning and it was pouring down, the rain was coming at you sideways. I was in my silver 550 Maranello which I had just bought. As soon as I saw the place I was in love. It was way out of my price range at that stage in my career but I said to my accountant let's sign up for it anyhow and figure out the money later. He thought I was crazy - he now knows that for sure.
And so today I return for one last look at the old gaff in my new latest car, same make different colour - thinking about all that has happened between then and now - the people that have come and gone - the madness and the mayhem - the highs and the lows.
And then as we approach the drive and I suddenly feel apprehensive, I look over to my son sat next to me in his car seat and he gives me that big gummy smile as if to say everything is gonna be alright and it both makes my day and breaks my heart all at the same time.
Cheers.

We had a large garden with our last house (kept in immaculate condition) and the couple that bought it wanted a 'wildlife garden) They truly got it too, unfortunately it was unruly, untidy and very upsetting evertime we went back to visit friends.
But hey ho time to move on. Now in a brand spanking self built house and loving every minute of it.
PLEASE PLEASE ARF - Crazy Horses (final fling tomorrow for our riding Festival and it's definitely had a few crazy nags bouncing about!!!)
Good side is lost 5 lbs in 10 days, get so worried before I get on I cant eat big portions - should be on throughout the whole year - might get back to be 'dainty'

And Spb know what you mean about old houses.. my first house is owned by a friend (she became a friend after she bought it) and it still feels odd going there..altho she has it looking much nicer than i ever did! 2nd house was only 2 doors away so also walk past that quite regularly..and i have to say I had that looking MUCh nicer than it does now! hee hee..
Current house is also only round the corner of 1st two as well.. maybe i need to spread my wings a bit more..altho the garden now needs to last us a lifetime now the amount of work we`ve done on it!
