it is good to see how far you've come Yorkie. Perhaps northern practicalities, but whatever it is, I wish I had some. We southerners, even honorary ones like me, seem to get stuck playing victims for a bit longer. Acceptance is one thing, but you have embraced your future and are looking at it with the eyes of someone with the whole world of possibilities at your feet. I remember having that feeling when I graduated from university. God, how I wish I could feel that again.
re your local solicitor ... how good could they be if they are worried about how this will impact their relationship with your H. Surely they are more professional than that?!? in any case, you are right. there is a high difference between local and city solicitors. shop around and find one that you click with. they all do the free 30 min consultation.
I love how excited about buying a new house. I can see how you see it as a fresh start. Again, that infinite world of possibilities. . I am still dreadfully attached to our house and losing it would be like the final nail in the coffin. but, on the positive - he is much more attached to it than me and losing it would hurt him twice as much. cold comfort, but comfort nonetheless. I will get there. it is just bricks and mortar. But it was (is) our forever home. giving it up would be bloke finally saying goodbye to those hopes and dreams. I will cross that bridge when I get to it. im glad that bridge does not ned crossing today.
Anyway, it is always good to hear how you are doing. I am not sure what the rules are re meeting, but if it’s allowed I’d love to share an afternoon tea with you next time you’re in London
