It's lovely to hear that you enjoy some of our pondering on this blog. Your feelings sound so similar to ours, it really was very moving to read your words. <br /><br />We'd love to hear a little more about your travels, where you've been and where you might head to next? <br /><br />And, of course, best wishes with the clearing out! We completely understand your feeling of being 'more' unsettled in the UK. Perhaps it's because there is anticipation of what's to come, the letting go, the making decisions etc. rather than the more unexpected process of setting off and going with the flow? <br /><br />In love,<br /><br />Dan & Esther x Daniel Colegatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778514618738418487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369079780186902262.post-8886465087010786552017-04-20T16:32:27.213+01:002017-04-20T16:32:27.213+01:00I've been following your blog for some time no...I've been following your blog for some time now and enjoy your reflections about your travels. We have been travelling for a year now and have just returned to deal with our stuff which has been locked away in a storage container. Even though we gave away probably half of what we owned before we left on our travels we have procrastinated long and hard over whether to let go of the rest as it not only doesn't fit our current lifestyle but it's also still costing us money! But, needs must, it has to go. It's not even sentimental stuff but I still keep feeling that a huge piece of my life will be gone! It's strange because I've felt more unsettled coming back to the UK than I did giving up our jobs, renting out our house and embarking on our new lifestyle over a year ago which is something I didn't really expect. I like your thoughts on the fact that you accept that you as people have changed and that what served you previously does not necessarily fit your present selves. Thank you for your thoughts as they do help give clarity to others in a similar situation! Also, well done with those puppies - you have given them a superb start in life and Leela is a very lucky girl! All the best for your future travels :) Jane Jane & Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201705958818121225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369079780186902262.post-84023814110095646932016-11-12T20:44:37.407+00:002016-11-12T20:44:37.407+00:00Yes indeed, definitely more than a physical proces...Yes indeed, definitely more than a physical process! That's exactly why it is so difficult, I gather! Thanks for your inspiration!

Great to hear from you. The sewing course...Hi guys. Great to hear from you. The sewing course sounds interesting. We're big fans of repairing, recycling and reusing and a sewing course would definitely help us. I have to admit that having lived with just one pair of trousers all summer it was superglue I was using to keep them 'decent' in public. <br /><br />It does get hard clearing out as you strip away the layers. Also, we find that when we are selling things that, on reflection, we have never really used or needed we also have to deal with a little guilt or feeling regret we bought it in the first place. Obviously we were different people then and times and ourselves change, but clearing out is definitely more than a physical process. Certainly something you need to give yourself space to do.<br /><br />With best wishes,<br /><br />DanDaniel Colegatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778514618738418487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369079780186902262.post-53696701255327531702016-11-08T07:28:54.804+00:002016-11-08T07:28:54.804+00:00What a brave thing to do: extreme clearing out! I ...What a brave thing to do: extreme clearing out! I cannot even get rid of simple clothes that have been in the wardrobe for donkey's years! And shamefully... I am collecting even more 'stuff' as I have started to follow a sewing course ... You can use anything then, or so my brains think... Got to start making lists too! All the best.Chris (Belgian Beauty= our moho, not me;-))noreply@blogger.com
