Big news, big relief

Funny old thing, life. Your mood, situation and future can change so quickly depending on the simplest little things. I guess that’s why they say a butterfly can flap it’s wings in your sock drawer and cause an explosion in your eardrum, or something.
Through Philippa’s efforts online, we have found somewhere to live! There are some lovely little holiday homes sitting unused by the river, and the company that own them are more than happy for them to be occupied during the Winter, even if they don’t make much money on them.  They are furnished, they are pretty, and we only have to pay £400 per month, whereas if we stayed there during Summer it would be £1200 PER WEEK! We explained our situation and said we might end up leaving at short notice if the Housesitting Agency found us somewhere, and they were fine with it! I guess a few weeks with someone paying rent is better than having an asset sitting empty, so everyone’s happy all round. Especially Philippa, which is the most important thing, because my happiness goes up or down in direct relation to hers.
It may only be a short-term fix, but it’s better than being homeless!!
