well that was a rather longer break than I meant it to be but there was rather a lot going on in the background which couldn't be written about until now. MrV who is a simply wonderful person, started negotiations with his work to do his job from home, which instead of being in South London would be in Edinburgh. OK they said, but this needs to happen, and this, and this, and this....and so on until at the begining of June they said that we could go ahead. I couldn't write about any of this simply because I didn't want to tempt fate taking it away, in fact we didn't actually start telling people (bar immediate family) about the move until the end of July.
But here we are in rainy Edinburgh (alas not the Grange though) and it's wonderful. The difference between here and Wallington where we used to live is incredible. There are actually things to do here apart from walking round a park. There are shops, museums, art galleries and cafes. There are libraries and gyms. This is civilisation folks.
The FB got into a good school and has a fantastic teacher and he appears to be enjoying himself - well he waves hello to his school which I take as a good sign. My mother takes the Count to a baby and toddler group every week which he loves, and I love because hell, who wouldn't love a few hours peace and quiet from two noisy children every week!

Welcome back! As soon as I saw your comment I cheered.
So glad you have made a good move.
Oh I just sent an email saying what have you been up to, but now I know. Glad to hear that the move has been such a good change of fortune for you.
I didn't know whether you'd given up the blog for good. Sounds like home is really home, I envy you.
It is a blissful move. It doesn't feel real, more like we are on holiday despite us doing particularly unholidayish things like take the FB to school.
Wow! That is great for you. And godo to see you back on-blog.
Yay, welcome back to Blog World! I've missed you both in real life and in blog life too xxx
