We have moved...


We have finally moved. It is a downsize to a much smaller house. It was a fairly traumatic move, with all the family helping move a 6 bed (18 room) house into three storage containers, because our removal company couldn't do the day when our buyers changed it!

Still we are in and we are down to the contents of about 3/4 of a container left to find a home for.

My two wardrobes in the bedroom do contain 9 guitars, which stand up in their cases very nicely.

It was an emotional time as a year ago, just after the song writing course at Arvon, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Since then I have had a radical prostatectomy, seven weeks of radiotherapy and been on hormone tablets for nine months. So far, so good. The PSA tests I have had recently show no active cancer cells. So, here hoping that they have got it all. Next oncology appointment is on January 2015.

But at the moment I am deciding on what to take to this years song writing course! So, looking forward to it. Reb, my wife, went on a poetry course there earlier in the year. I got quite homesick when I arrived to pick her up. It stirred up so many great memories.

For the last few weeks I have been unable to pick up a guitar as I have either been running around for the move, or my fingers have had cracks/cuts in them making it painful to play. But they are all healed now, so I will get them hardened up again!
