We move to Blackheath tomorrow. I can't believe it's finally happening. It's funny, and this is so typical of me, but I've thought so much about getting there that I haven't really thought about leaving here. I'm going to miss this little house. In many ways it's been our first real home. I must remember to take lots of photos today before everything is dismantled tomorrow.
I'm going to miss some things about Chislehurst too. The churchyard, the ease of living so close to the High Street... and that's about it. No, I'll miss all the old folks too. Chislehurst must be a haven for retired people because we have a huge elderly community and lots of assisted living and nursing homes. I do like the old people and will miss having some sweet elderly gentleman hold the door open for me at the newsagents or some little old lady pat my pregnant belly and tell me that without a doubt I'm having a girl. I went out this morning and had three different ladies stop me and ask about the pregnancy. The younger generations just don't have as much time or inclination for chatting with strangers and I'll definitely miss that.
So, tomorrow we go. I won't have internet access until Monday at the earliest and that's if we can get organised enough to get everything set up. But I know that the library in Blackheath has internet access so I can always update there if anything exciting happens.
