The beginning of the year in Austwick with Mum waving to me as I leave for Kirkcaldy! Terrible weather to travel in but lovely to look at and a super memory, think this might just be this years Merry Yule card!
So how time rushes on with so much to do and thankfully beginning to see the issues for what they are. Will endeavour to keep the family home so Frank and I can have a happy "retirement". Have told Frank he would be bored in the house so needs a job. Suggested window cleaning, as we know from the Sydney Bridge experience he is afraid of heights but he could still do bungalows!
Going down to Austwick on Friday, staying until the 21st so will be having my birthday there! To celebrate I have ordered new spec as on the morning of the funeral I stood on them and must have looked a right twit offering my Eulogy with one leg missing from the specs! Back for Kirkcaldy for a few days and going back to Austwick via Bill & Barrie's in Newcastle. While staying with them for the weekens, hope to avoid any accidents, although at the moment the bereavement is really making me do silly things - but going to see Michael Bourne's "Picture of Dorian Grey" at the Theatre Royal! So by this time we should know where we stand regarding Mum's estate and if it will be feasable to pay the 40% IHT to Alistair Darling!
