A long time since my last entry and inevitably the curse of the busy man in real life or the amateur blogger who fell of the posting shelf. We returned after much angst and hand wringing from the warm and beautiful south of France - we have actually been mad enough to leave a town called "The Sun" and move to Edinburgh...not called Le Soler.
Why the cold frozen North represented in Edinburgh I hear you say...and have heard from many I've met here in my home city since we returned in December. In the end, the large investment we made in truffles stretched us a little further than we had expected. Add to this, the loss of regular work and missing a teenager who was awfully unhappy at Lycee, who we sent home to stay with my sister and go to school in Edinburgh last August all combined to pull us back here.
I would be lying if we didn't say we missed our first born, once she left the coup and also lying if the thought of 4 children and the resulting minimum university fees of £104k and or the vast additional debts for them or us had we returned to Farnham did not come into our thinking.
But excluding the weather, Edinburgh has just about everything you could want for quality family and adult life. So we're all really happy to be here and the interest in buying truffle trees with us has never been better.
