Heroes Not Zombies

Today’s the day.

Removal day. For the last seven years I’ve rented an old house near the town of Cognac. We decided that when I retired from four decades of medical work that we’d emigrate from Scotland and go and live in France. We always hoped to buy somewhere if it turned out that we enjoyed living in France but with one thing and another it took much longer to get round to looking for a house to buy. However, this became the year to do it and today is the day the removal men are here.

Here’s a couple of photos which, I think, nicely capture where we’ve been living.

So it’s goodbye to the Charente, and hello to the Charente Maritime, as we head about an hour north west of here.

Time’s a strange phenomenon and it sure isn’t captured by clocks and watches. This has been a good seven years.

Now is the time for change.
