Hello. And goodbye. But not for long!

Greetings, my dear bloggy friends.

It's said that two of the most stressful events in one's life are bereavement and moving house. Well, this month I've had both. Regular readers will note that my father passed away on New Year's Day, but what you will not be aware of is my imminent move from just outside London to East Sussex; to Seaford, in fact, a small town just a few miles east of Brighton, that vibrant jewel of the south coast of England. The process of estate agents, solicitors, and stupid amounts of paperwork and delays has proved to be extremely annoying and aggravating!

All being well, me, my family and our belongings will be transported to our new home on Friday. Sadly, the move will necessitate a temporary loss of the internet, but I assure you that I shall return (I hope!) invigorated by the sea air (less than ten minutes' walk away!) early in February. My life with my current service provider has but twenty four hours to run, so any words of comfort or encouragement within that timeframe would be gratefully and graciously received.

I look forward to our future encounters.

Kind regards,

Chris.
