Sounds like you've found your spot Cassandra. Enjoy it all.

Oh.!! To be ten years younger..

Yes, I know what you mean. Indeed I should have perhaps taken the plunge 25 years ago when my late wife died.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, these the saddest - it might have been

But at least you've done it.

I'm glad I didn't move abroad when I was younger as I'd never have met my wife & had those wonderful few years with her.

But now, at my age of 78 with just me & the furry ones, I'd probably wave goodbye to the UK if it was financially viable & I bet quite a few of us would.

[Scrumpy]

I certainly would..

Strangely I would have got more for the practice (adjusted) in '98 and there were many offers. Criminal law chambers are today unpopular with the new young things at the bar. But I'm very happy with what I have now, I'm just being greedy in wanting more time with it! I also think the Sunaks and Co will have a much harder time in accomplishing their inevitable takeover here than they will in the UK, which to me has already been conquered.

The words were written by 'John Greenleaf Whittier', an American Poet and writer. The verse is from his composition Maude Muller, a very sad tale. I have a copy of his great work 'Snow Bound', which was my mother's book. A series of tales told by family members, warmly ensconced around the log fire in their stranded Home during a three day snow storm.

I used the quote from Maude Muller to great effect once, when pleading mitigation in a tragically sad manslaughter case.
