apologetic attempt at adjustment

So - what I was trying to say on Tuesday, before tiredness got the better of me, is that Philippa and I had an amazing series of chats about our family life and work situations and came to similar conclusions and it led to some very interesting and potentially exciting plans. Firstly, we're looking very seriously at the idea of taking the boys abroad. To live, that is, rather than just for a holiday. It won't be happening soon, and it isn't a definite thing, but it is certainly a possibility, and one we will be looking into over the coming months. There are lots of things we don't like about our education system, and where it seems to be heading, and so instead of moaning about that or being either angry about it or resigned to it, we are thinking about ways to take them out of it; but we want to do that without detriment to their learning. So being somewhere with decent schooling is top of our research list. There's also the fact that I think I mentioned sometime last year in this blog - my current field of work is one that could be utilised in any manner of locations around the world. Why would we not look to take advantage of that? And if Philippa continues to grow her client base with the therapy stuff here, why couldn't she also be confident of doing that somewhere else? So, it's not as if our jobs are a barrier to us relocating.
Anyway, I don't want to bore you with it too much. I just thought I'd share something with you that has us both very excited and very enthused. Nothing may end up coming of it, but it is so, so important, is it not, to have these little dreams and targets, or we just end up stagnant and sterile.
Of course, this may all just be a reaction to the huge quantities of shortbread and other sugary snacks that I've been feasting on for weeks now, but it's fun to surf along with it while it's happening.
