Hushistas watching the snow fall

[ilovecherries]

New thread. My nerve was cracking!

I was really tempted, Ella, but worried you’d be horrified or think it was very stalkerish behaviour!

And yes, I ordered the S, Soy, which is what I have in the jumper, and I think it sits nicely. Yes, Laska, I think that’s right. It’s the green nana jumper I have, and I love it, so hoping dress is the same.

I really miss living near the sea. At home, we are only a 10 minute walk from the beach, and we are there most days. I have learned three things from this secondment a) I will never live this far from the sea again b) I will never live somewhere without a railways station again c) I will never live at the top of a bloody hill again!

I am just over here! Yoo Hoo!

...Oh , hello everyone who knows me!! (oops) > I bet the local lady Postie would if she reads MN,.. shes commented on the amount of my Hush parcels before!

Well, on reflection, as Laska says, the hill might be a good thing, right enough!

Laska that’s a much prettier view, I all can see from our front windows is other houses & chimney pots, the garden backs onto the tram line so the other houses at the back are quite far away, which doesn’t make it feel so surrounded & we aren’t overlooked which is a bonus for London.

Laska that looks beautiful.
Um confused @ cherries. What dress/ tunic do you mean?

I have, over the years, met a number of people from online forums. Some here, some from yahoo groups, and some from random special interest things. I’ve never actually had a bad experience, and a number have turned out to be good friends.

I posted a picture never I’m guessing you can’t see it? This one

Oh sorry just seen your pics. I have that dress. Have worn it quite a lot.

Hello all. I leave you for a short while and when I get back you're three pages in! That's talking!

ella sorry to hear of your health issues...I hope everything can be and will be sorted as soon as possible.

twosoups late to the party but keep the burgundy jacket.

No snow here (north Cornwall) but a glorious sunny day. I did lots of washing!

This is the sea that I live near.

@twosoups1972 my Stepdaughter has also applied for Newcastle uni to do English. She doesn't live locally so we are all hoping she'll get in so we can see a bit more of her.

Oh wow Fuzzy that's just beautiful! I love north Cornwall. We go down to north Devon every summer (Croyde) bit I've had many many holidays in Bude, Polzeath and St Ives.

Ooh Fuzzy another lovely picture, crikey we are the length & breadth of the country & an island as well, I love hearing about all the different areas we live in.

ella the picture is of Widemouth Bay near Bude. We used to holiday in Polzeath every year (before we bit the bullet and moved here).
I do like the fact that we are all over the place..it's so interesting!

Cherries yy hills, before we moved here we lived in a very very hilly part of south east London, pushing dd uphill I used to be practically blue from lack of oxygen, in bad weather we were marooned on the top as nothing could get up or down.

Beautiful laska and Fuzzy!
All my paternal side of the family is from the Mediterranean coast (Marina Alta region, they call it the Azahar/Orange blossom coast between Valencia and Alicante) and my DNA longs for living full time by the Sea...
And I have a cunning plan to make it real this year I hope 🙏

Soy another beautiful part of the world, really hope your cunning plan comes to fruition < i now have BlackAdder song in my head>

Dh has (half Spanish) relatives in Calpe Soy

.. 2020 Husista long weekend in Spain anyone? -scares Soy

Ooh checks piggy bank & back of sofa for any loose change & if I continue no spend until December, might be able to afford it 😃

So sorry to hear about your health issues @ellapaella.

Loving all the sea pictures. I’m from two long lines of seafarers, including merchant and Royal Navy, lifeboats men and a whaling captain. The sea is in my blood and I really feel it’s lack if I’m in land for too long. The air just isn’t the same. We live by a lough and are an hour from the wild Atlantic coast. My favourite thing is to get to the proper sea take me shoes off and walk along the beach, regardless of the weather.

This is the lough.

Am off to Pilates tomorrow, havent been for a very long time so am a bit nervous but thought as im feeling relatively ok & my energy levels have improved the last few weeks should make an effort.

Porpoise stunning views.

This is my sea

Porpoise that’s beautiful too. You’ve described just how I feel every time I’m by the sea. I feel healed!
Well laska boss agreed again last week in Paris that if I want to work from Spain or Timbuktu he couldn’t care less as long as I’m close to an airport and can fly to Paris or wherever when they need me to so it really is a matter of time now...and wouldn’t it be fun when it finally happens if we ended up meeting there? I’m half hour drive north of Calpe, in a village nestled at the foot of the Vals de Gallinera (Hills) 5 km from the beach and Oliva, 10 km from Denia (which by the way runs daily ferries to Ibiza and Formentera). Keep your tootsies crossed we can sell our house this coming summer (not a given with Brexit) as everything else is lined up for the Big Escape. But we will divide our time between there and Norfolk (again by the sea) as our DC have no desire to move away for the time being. It will be a wrench leaving our family home of the last 24 years. We just know it is now time to do it.
So I really don’t want to buy too much as the move will be major and my wardrobe alone will require a dedicated truck! need to start doing the eBay lark and serious culling I reckon.
