Hi All, The reason for my being rather quiet lately is that I have rather we- Mike & I have been very busy. We have decided it was time to move back home. We need to get away from this bad weather both politically & true weather wise. We have our children & grandchildren's blessing. We were going to wait until I retired but it is hard to predict when I will feel ready to do that. I just got back from England. I have a job in Cheltenham as Home Manager for a residential care/nursing home; starting early in December. Mike will be staying here until the house sells etc. We will be selling most of our stuff - give some to the kids - dump some of it & ship to England that that we can't or wont give up. Needless to say I will read more that is going on with the list than share thoughts with you. I will try to get "On line" as soon as possible once I get there & figure out how to do it all. Even basic living stuff is going to have to be re-learned. So I should be leaving here before the snow gets too much of a hold but doubt if Mike will be that lucky. Does anybody on the list live anywhere near Cheltenham that would be willing to share some tips with me? I am well familiar with Oxfordshire but not Gloucestershire. In case my communication is much delayed Happy Thanks Giving Christmas & New Year to you all. All the best to a great group of people Dawn
