I have had a very tumultuous few years, my wife of 25 years and I broke up and legaly seperated about a year or so ago...
but even befor that "legal" brake up, i didn't live at home anymore anyway for quite lengthy periods.
As a sailor I was away at sea at least for half my life anyhow, and the other half I spend living with a mate in bachelors bliss....
However, life is what happens while you make different plans.....
When I get off this trip, I will be moving into a new "Home".....finaly.....
After having been completely displaced for so long, it is a very exciting new prospect....
My bikes were sometimes locked in a container, sometimes at my mate.
Some gear is at his place, some in an old caravan, some in the back of my landrover etc....but most stuff i have simply left behind for my ex.
Al I had was my bikes and vehicle....
Now I will have a place again to go home to...a place to direct my mail to....a place where my bikes will live in their own little workshop....
A place my friends could come and visit.
But most importantly is a place I will share on equal terms with the lady of my dreams.....
Life never looked this good....
For the first time in a long time I can't wait to get off....
And go home...
My updated contact details are on my homepage for those on my list,
and I hope I will see you there for a cup or a coppa when you happen to be in the area....
Always room to park and fix a bike, always a spare bed or 2....
