forays to Forres

Been to Scotland to see some properties. Fell in love with the place again and had a fab few days but the reality (and expense) of a move of over 600 miles and the vagaries of the Scottish legal system are conspiring against us living there. Some tough times when we got back trying to piece together what we want out of a move (anywhere), what we are about, what we can afford... Not easy. Finally come to the inevitable conclusion we must find some income and use our savings as more of a buffer than ekeing out a living. Neither of us wants to work to enable us to spend time on our creative work but we have to bite the bullet. It's not going to be easy to find work at our age and living here. We still want to move - Shropshire now seems back in consideration.
