I just wrote to a friend from work who asked how life was going up here. I figured I’d share that, ’cause folks are asking, and I’ve been writing about book-stuff here on the blog (when this is the one part of the site that doesn’t have to just be about that).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

——————————<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Craig’s parents are coming to visit for a few days, so we were out shopping tonight. (I’m turning into the cook of the house — who knew?!)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

First we went to the local Co-op, as I insist we do, but then we went to the giant, evil Tesco to get what the Co-op didn’t have. As we left Tesco, I looked out over the green farmland stretching out in the distance, the spindly wind-turbines turning on the horizon, then looked up at the sky, which was every imaginable pastel colour, from pale blue to pink to orangey-yellow where the sun was starting to set.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It’s small here. It’s different. And I don’t know quite how we fit into the picture. But it’s a beautiful and old and broken place that’s still surviving (its boom, because of the red herring, went a long time ago with the fish). I like it, and there’s something good about being here.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And living with this guy is a dream. He is my partner in so many ways. He’s kind and playful, good and fun. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I’ve got a great space to do my work in, and lots of hours for being creative.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This is a good time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
