Took moby and the dogs up for a last visit to the cemetery, lovely sunny morning today. The Stone Mason will be taking the stone away to add my mums details later this week. Visited my gran and grandads grave to. I was named after my grandad but I never met him , he died 9 years before I was born in the same corner of the same house of the same bastard disease my mum did.

Took a few drone shots of the house this morning . Didn't have it up long Incase anyone complained. I mostly just wanted to see it was working OK as I recalibrated it on my bil laptop last night so hopefully I don't get the issues I was having with it last year now.

I have applied dji mavic air. Its been pretty good but I'm disappointed thar dji have dropped a lot of the support systems for them now so it's a pain to maintain them. But overall its a good camera and pretty easy to fly .

I don't think anyone can grasp how difficult it is to leave somewhere you can never return to . ... somewhere that's been home your entire life.


Suddenly everything seems so real and so final .

I can't see for tears.

Be kind to yourself - you have been through a terrible time and it is going to take a long time to come to terms with.
 
Turkey can be very cold in part's. When we were there in November a few years back it was sunny but cold. Ankara was well below freezing all day. Not that I'd recommend Ankara at all, only Ataturks ott mausoleum worth a visit.
 
I realise that leaving your lifelong home will be incredibly hard for you Tam but you will never lose your memories of your family time in Dunfermline. You will aye be a Fifer and a proud Scot wherever you are in the world. Lang may yer lumb reek, even if its just a Trauma boiler.
 
Sometimes it's difficult to know what to say or do, we are all different and can't imagine what others are going through.
I wouldn't say stop thinking and get on with it, because it doesn't happen like that, I wouldn't say it takes a while to get over things and time is the cure, because there is no cure but it does go further back in your many happy memories.

This is certainly a new chapter in your life Tam, when I was 50 I went from a workaholic in the very difficult haulage industry to losing the sight in one eye so no HGV licence. 😐
After 3 years of attending the eye clinic and having no luck fixing it, the stress of them telling me at least the other one is OK, and meeting young people that went to bed and work up blind was driving me to Vodka, I never had anymore checks. 😑
I had to move on, travelling in the motorhome was the best thing we did, took my mind off my problems and things were back on track, when we decided to sell up in 2013, we never knew where we was going or what we really wanted, we emptied the bungalow sold the cars the a class and towed a caravan with a PVC down to Spain for our normal winter stay, during that time my brother sold our bungalow so we never went back. 🙂

We had two years travelling and looking all over Europe before buying here in Spain, but will say hand on heart we was very nervous at the time of starting this chapter in our lives, but it was one of the best decisions we made, life could have been same old thing day in day out, but like today been out walk the dog between 1 and 2 hours, come home coffee then swim. 👍
Good luck and safe travels it's a day you will always remember but it could be for the best. 🙂 Bob.

What's the new thread going to be called tam?
Travels with Toby and the pups?

Drive past our old family home where we brought up the kids at least a couple of times a week. Do I miss living there - no. Does it always bring back memories - of course.

Tam you can go back. I have just to see. To take photos. Even when lived abroad in Qatar when I returned 20 years after leaving. I knocked on the door. The owners were really nice and happy to show me around. Also to know how it had been

Hard but it is part of moving forward with your new life. Mum in your heart and photos too

MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

Departure day , its strange to think I'll never return here. Sure I can drive down this street again someday but the family home I grew up in ,that my mother was born in ,lived in for 79 years and that I could always return to will be owned by someone else. Its the strangest feeling ever. The...

Not surprised at your post Tam. I've been thinking how difficult you must be finding it just now.
Memories -such strange things. For a while after my parents died memories led to tears - now they lead to smiles and a warm heart.
Give the pups an extra special cuddle tonight and tell them the adventures you all are about to have.
All the bett
Sue
