It’s more common than you think. The anticipation for so long, the dreaming, the building it up in your mind - then the reality. I felt the same with Skye. From years of holidays, two week concentrated pops of loveliness and great food and wonderful places to a cold, damp caravan in a storm. It gets better. The exploration of your new life starts and gradually the deeper understanding of your new place and new joy creeps in. And one day you’ll go, just wow. Rather than knowing the practicalities of why we did it, I know the joy too. This is a special place and it’s ours and our new life is this. Hope it comes soon. It will.

Yes the moving to a damp cold caravan would be hard - we are fortunate to have a house with a mainly secure roof. It’s definitely improved since we got here proper. I have moments, not of regret more of shit! What have we done!! I can’t wait to see your place once it’s done 😊
