Just a thought.

 I was chatting to a neighbour the other day, she was telling me they are soon to move away. The furniture has already been sent up north in a van and is now in storage. Their rented house is almost empty. A few loose ends to tidy up and they will be away. I asked where they are moving to. Shetland she replied. Blimey that's a long way away. 

Their furniture is at the halfway point in Aberdeen. The plan is to drive their car to Shetland, hire a van, and collect the furniture. I asked, how come you are moving so far away. Her husband has been looking for a job for ages, not much luck around here. He applied for a Postie's job on Shetland, and got it. Wow, what an exciting time for them. 

What an amazing thing to do, I thought. I have been to Orkney so know what the landscape is like that far north. If truth be known I am slightly envious of them. Up sticks and go is something I used to do. 

At 18 I moved to Blackpool. I lived in Birmingham for a while, then went back home, then back to Blackpool again. I lived in Majorca for three months, that didn't work out so I came back. I bought my first house at 27, a small terrace. Changed it for a semi, still in my hometown. Then moved 100 miles to where I am now. 

Driving trucks has satisfied my wanderlust. For quite a few years there was no need to move house. All I needed was a base to sleep after twelve hour days of tramping around the UK, with the occasional trip into Europe. Some of the work took me away from my pile of bricks and mortar Monday to Friday, the cab was my home. 

Now, when I hear of  people moving house and going to a new area, it makes me feel like I am stuck. Yes, I could probably do the same if I really wanted to, but it seems a bit crazy because I would have to start paying rent, unless I did a straight swap. I am not going to get a mortgage at my age, nor would I want to. 

I have gone through the mill over the years regarding being skint several times, especially when moving house. I have always hated the phrase 'settling down', to me that is like a death sentence. But after 22 years in this house I suppose you could say I am settled down. 

If I was younger I would consider moving. Our island is filling up fast. Big wide open spaces away from the maddening crowd are very appealing to me. Just a thought.

Enjoy your Tuesday. I must go shopping my fridge is bare.
