Title: Sorry I've been away, but I've missed you all.

I've been rather quiet for some time now and most of you have probably forgotten me.
There are several reasons, one was health. I now have a pro-active doctor.
The main reason is based on sanity and I'm being tested to the limits on this.
Last year, Ruth and myself decided to bring her parents over from Belfast to live with us. But in January this year Leftie Snr (Vernon) injured his Achilies tenton and couldn't get about. Decission to include him in the 'commune'.
We now needed a 6 bedroom bungalow, very rare. We settled for a chalet style in Shaftesbury.
In looking at and in properties, has put 2k miles on the motor. We searched everywhere in Surrey, W & E Sussex, Hampshire, Bershire, Wiltshire. Then Dorset, this place is ideal.
But living with a 90,89 and 86 yro is driving me around the frigging bend. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO BUY A FRIGGING OAP REST HOME!!!!!!!
Anyway, we are settling in and boxes still need to be emptied.
Any CA members living in or near Shaftesbury? Some sanity is required..................
I'll update in a while.

48 hours with my mother is enough to tempt me to suicide so you have my deepest sympathy. A bit far from Shaftesbury, I'm afraid, though.
Good to see you posting. :)

Good to see you back leftie. Shaftsbury is a bit to far to go for a beer. But if I'm passing that way I'll let you know.
