Well, the time has come. In preparation for my move to Wales tomorrow, we had a farewell meal with my friends on Thursday. Some of them I have known for over 27 years and it still feels odd thinking that they will be far enough away that I will only see them a few times a year and not for our regular social evenings.
Most of them are on Facebook but that just isn't the same.
It can't be helped of course and it may indeed not be permanent - after a few years we may be able to move back down, but at the moment it seems like it. I also effectively said goodbye to my parents as well. Of course we will still keep in touch but I won't be able to pop over to help them out with something any more.
I'll also be saying goodbye to Poole and Bournemouth - something my wife is used to because she has always moved around with her family, but I have been here since I was born and it is going to be odd losing my old stomping grounds.
For a few weeks I'll be in Wales during the week and travelling back at weekends. My daughter is already upset that I won't be there to say goodnight to her tomorrow, but hopefully it won't be for long.
Time to move on ...
