Waiting

Hello...do come in for I have news to share

Though right now we are still waiting

And I fear we shall be waiting a few more weeks yet.

I have not dared utter these words to you before

For fear of jinxing the whole thing

Let me begin

It was a Henry’s first birthday 

He was with Grandma in the afternoon

As Mummy had a scan appointment 

Birthday tea all arranged for here too.

His Mummy and Daddy returned from said appointment 

All smiles

And then...

Mummy looks at her phone

For it has alerted her

To the fact that the cottage adjoining us

Has just gone on the market.

This is the neighbour who was constantly saying

’I want to sell’

But when asked if it was for real

Backed down.

So at 20 weeks pregnant

And with no current plans to sell their home

They put their house on the market.

To cut a long story short

Hopefully their end of a very short chain will be complete early November 

And the other end shouldn’t theoretically be far behind.

We have no clue as to whether they will be settled in before Christmas 

The important thing is that it happens sometime.

I have been so nervous about it so have not posted before

In fact until today I haven’t even opened Blogger

I just couldn’t 

By the way I have more news to share

But that will have to wait for next time

Though I’m bursting to tell you

I really want to read your lovely blogs

That I have neglected for some weeks.

Go careful on those broomsticks!
