Bless you Marj. You are going for good reasons, it will all work out well for you. Its hard when our loved ones spread themselves so far apart. Cyber hugs to you.

Good luck on your relocation. It's hard to move on from a place you enjoy, but that's life.
Sometimes life decides what we have to do beyond our own plans. You'll be right.

So right guys, has taken a bit of getting used to the idea, not about being up there but about leaving down here.
Things are things after all but your kids are your kids.
She moves out as soon as she find a place to rent in Maryborough and then he is on his own and can't do it by himself.
I'm looking forward to living in a large place with a huge back yard after living in a little one bed unit with a courtyard. Will be great to have a good sized garden to work in. I might even learn how to use the ride on mower.
Its going to be a new learning curve for me at my age but these challenges keep us young don't they.

They say a change is as good as a holiday Marj, look upon it as an adventure and a new chapter in your life.

Best wishes for the move hope it all works out.

Well, like TB - welcome in advance back to sunny Queensland, tho I know what you mean - I love Echuca - never lived there, but it just has that something about it.

You will be closer for some of us to come and visit, which will be a good thing. My oldest son is coming to live up here at the end of June (unless something drastic happens to change his mind) - looking to go working in the mines, buy a house here, with a granny flat for me - hope it all works out.

You are doing the right thing for you and for your son Marj, so soldier on with the clearing out and packing - and will see you soon!

Marj, will you be able to park Myrtle close enough to the house so that you don't have to walk so far...in the rain or otherwise...to pack and unpack her?

It's sounding better all the time  

 

Its a good move Marj ..

.. just another day in the rest of your life .. you gotta go where you need to be and the trip there will just expand your front yard .

its a good thing

Jon

Why would I go to WA wombat when my grandson and all the rellies live here in Victoria?? eh!
Thanks everyone, amazing how quickly the table turns. One neighbour has bought my large chest of draws and other neighbours have already cleaned out the back courtyard of pots and potplants. I can hose that down now and know its all done.
I will still be doing my trips around up there, just a bit shorter than originally planned.
