By the time she retired and sold up, most of the houses had been converted to student flats and the whole street was, and still is, grotty. Her buyers convinced her that the lovely house was just what they needed for their large family. No, of course they would not be letting it out. She sold. She moved out. Students moved in. The house is now just as grotty and unloved as the rest.<br /><br />It hurt her dreafully.

There was a time a couple of years ago when it looked as though elder daughter and her husband might have to go to Korea for a couple of years and it was like walking round with a lead ball inside me until all was decided and they didn't go.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-22225219322920325212010-08-21T21:11:59.380+01:002010-08-21T21:11:59.380+01:00Enjoy your phone call, that sounds great.
