We have a plan and it is looking good

 Whilst we were locked down in Sitio we (well me mainly) had decided that returning to our bungalow in Chelmondiston would feel like going backwards and we wanted to keep going forwards and treating life as an adventure. We decided to put the property on the market and not renew the tenancy when it ran out at the end of April. The tenants were not happy and the less said about the childish and petulant behaviour of our previously model tenants the better, We did offer them the opportunity to buy it but they were by then having tantrums.It all worked out for the best as we soon sold it for more than we had offered it to them for.

We were open to moving anywhere, Scotland, Cornwall, Wales, The Lake District, as long as there was an abundance of natural beauty.

In the meantime our younger daughter and her husband had decided they had had enough of the rat race and wanted to sell up and buy a large country property to move into the glamping business and spend more quality time with their two young  daughters. We were looking at properties and they were looking at properties. Some of the properties they looked at had annexes or cottages together with the main house. Gradually we came to the realisation that if we bought one of these cottages then they could buy a more expensive property and we could live nearby and see more of the family.

If they found  an affordable property with a single house then we would find a different property but it broadened everyone's search. Then we found Plasnewydd, near Llandysul in Ceridigion. It had 11 acres and an annexe already converted and used as a holiday let. A feasibility study showed that it provided a good business opportunity so off we went. An offer was made and accepted. We sold our property. Heather and Barney sold theirs.

Plasnewydd at the end of September, No furniture and not many household goods but a new and exciting adventure
