Its amazing how you can be on a roll with your life ..

After regrouping last yr & deciding by end of this yr I wanted a bike ... getting one in Jan was kinda over whelming but such a buzz & 12 months ahead of schedule !!!

now another dream has been realised :yes:

I have always wanted to live rurally with my horses right outside my door ... I already live rurally but on a working dairy farm so no horses. My horses live in shannon at my girlfriends on 5 acres ...

Last week her husband accepted a job that comes with a free house etc .. so would I like to rent her house .. hmmmm decisions ...

decided I have yr to yr lease here .. so it would have to be long term .. & would not pay anymore than I aready am .. (love cheaper living, while I save cause I want my own place in a few yrs)

found out today that it will be long term same conditions as i have now .. soooooooooooo am moving .. two weeks & will be living on 5 acres with horses outside, bigger garages & various sheds etc

wooo hoooooo bike & horses outside the door, freinds just down the road :love: .... I feel so blessed, & I see it as a new beginning ... :sunny:

Nice. I've always wanted to settle down in the country, but alas my line of work tends to be in grey buildings in cities.

One house I lived in I couldn't sleep because of the noise of the sheep munching the grass at night. Hundreds of the wooly buggers ripping up the grass all night, rip rip rip, munch munch munch, they don't ever sleep. Neither did I!
I got used to it after a few days, but until then it was annoying. Horses would be nice though, because they have good personalities and are like people.

well I am all moved .. whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

with both U4ea & myself being full of colds etc & not feeling the best .. was a bit of a mission ..

total thanks to dogs .. Never realised i had so much stuff .. but he is the man for packing stuff into a small area ...& quite frankly without him providing some much needed muscle power prob would still be moving :niceone:

U4ea was a total trojan helping last nite & today to clean the house .. & wot a mission that was (esp after the road works last yr) :Punk:

thanks Guys - quite simply without you I would not be moved or cleaned .. :hug:

was great to sneak out on the bike for the quick jaunt to a cafe to decompress ... just wot the doctor ordered .. hopefully tomorrow will get quite a bit of stuff sorted & put away at the new house .. :banana: :2thumbsup

Somehow we missed all this was happening (though now I recall back in the mists of time ...) I am so happy that you're now with the babies, it just didn't seem right to be in the country but not able to have them with you. This is so perfect ... fantastic!

Sorry we weren't there to lend a hand girl. Nasty is a bit poorly after her bin on Friday night with some skin loss on her knee and bruised hands.

No no no ... not on her bike. She binned on her body ... tripped over in the Queensgate carpark ... lol {ducks}. She was wearing her Draggin Jeans tho. Pays to be in good protective gear :innocent:

{god, I am going to get killed!}

Good one chanceyy.

I quite like a quote I once heard. I'm too lazy to google the source, but I think it was Gary Player (of golfing fame):

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

You must be working hard. Keep it up :)
