It was fantastic to be there with all of the young people to celebrate such a fab couple. It was of course super-sad to say goodbye to the Scott tribe, I won't see them for a long time - no other weddings on the horizon!


Bridesmaids and ushers were all fab and it was a very cool event - lots of stylish arty designs and photos, as you'd expect from a graphic designer!
So lovely to be a mother-in-law again - twice in six months!
And these are my special two -- both married off now and living their lives in London. So proud of both of them. They are delightful human beings, with genuine hearts.
So, at the wedding I had to say goodbye to my sister and to Chrissie, who I won't see for a year at least. I'll have to get used to the time difference and use Whatsapp/Skype to keep in touch and cackle away as we do.
And then on New Year's Day I drove up to Pickering to see my lovely friend Vanessa and her new house - a huge and very unique house, steeped in history and with a massive garden which she will enjoy in the summer I'm sure. So sad to say goodbye to her too, and again, I'll be using Whatsapp to keep in touch.


The packers came early too, so the house now looks like a packing depot with boxes everywhere. They have been taking the p*** out of me for the huge number of shoes and clothes...! I'm chief tea-lady - I'd bought Kitkats and Twix bars for them so they're happy. Already today I've been to the tip and recycle depot to take cat transport boxes and more rubbish - it's bin day but with the removal truck in the way they might not get down to this bit of the estate.
I've also paid off a big chunk of the mortgage today with the off-set account funds - feels better to see a figure now only 5 digits! I've managed to FINALLY cancel the energy account - they wouldn't talk to me until it was 2 days before the move! And I've been in touch with the tenants about taking on the energy, and telling them I've left cat food pouches and bix as I can't take it to Oz.
I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and just do one thing at a time - I've got a couple more calls to make to Inland Revenue so will just sit in a queue! I've had lots of lovely messages by text and on LinkedIn, wishing me well. I still can't quite compute in my head that on Sunday I'm going - but I know I'll be back for long visits and that people will come and see me. This is one heck of an adventure!
