Hi Folks...... 30th August 2023
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have had to postpone this years planned trip to Scotland.
In fact We are not sure wether we are gonna be even able to get away somewhere nearer for weekends.
But until we get the Transit back from Matt with a running engine and we still have a few bits to sort out externally of the transit.
It is proving so frustrating for us at the moment as we cannot even get on with working in the back!
Plus with the unexpected issues with the transits engine, taking a huge chunk of my saved up funds, We will need time to start sorting thru new items to start listing and group up some of the unsold items, to make room for the new listings.
If possible, I would like to get some localish wild camping done in the transit and if we have any issues we can sort them out and go away again.
I do not know were I will go yet, I will have to look at some useful sites that offer free overnight campers or at worst eat in if at a pub/restaurant.
Not had any word from Matt since the last time, but I do know they are extremely busy at the moment, but we are hoping Matt phones with at least a progress update.
Hi Folks.
As you have been reading the Life n Grimes updates, Things have come to a head.
I have made some big choices, and finally have spoken to Lynne about them and whether she want's to come or not.
As I need to sort things out in my head, raise the funds for this trip and generally plan as much as we can.
but with my memory like a sieve and unable to retain information, this album, will hold all the things I (we) decide on or plan.
Due to the size of the albums I will be deleting any "Item's SOLD Albums" after approx 6 months!!
_____________________________________________________________________
My Plan so far is that next spring (poss Summer Hols if Lynne decides to stay were she works)
I (we) are going back to Western side of Scotland, as I need to get away from our home, as I know it is causing me so much of the grief I am suffering..
So I somehow have to finally deal with all the grief and the fight with the black dog....
My plan was sorta multi fold, and may change.
1. I am quiet happy to go on my own, but would be over the moon if Lynne came as well. But it would not stop me if she didn't.
2. The time in Scotland will be open ended, as I just do not know if I will find what I am looking for, or how long it will take.
here are the 3 options that I have decided 100% on ( and will not be changed)!
1. If I cannot find what I am looking for and start to live again, then I will go to Fee Donald's Mine and just lay down next to Timothy's ashes and give up.
2. will be driving around to various places and if I am happy will see about finding a place to live.
3. If I find what I am looking for and feel ready to come home, then come back home even if it's just for a short while.
Obviously to do the above, I am gonna have to sell everything I own, to get sufficient funds to afford this, anything around £8.000 - £10.000 as a minimum.
I hope this Planning & journey will not only help me (us) but maybe others in a similar position.
