It looks a lot nicer than it did the last time I visited. But what lies behind the camera? What lurks in the kitchen and in the dark recesses of your entrance hall? Eh?
Nice. It makes me sad for you that you’re leaving after 20 years.
Also. Which video did you make? I wonder if I’m one of the millions.
aww Deek. It is heart-breaking to leave a place with so many memories. but this is also the place where you have done some beautiful writing as well! :))
Now you can do that all over again and make somewhere else live too.
Rocks are slow life.
new territory, new stories. works for me.
Moving post that – I’ve never lived anywhere in my adult life for more than 2 years. I can’t, literally, imagine how you’re feeling.
soooo pretty
Deek why would you leave such a lovely place so full of your heart and memories? What’s up with that? Hmmm…
