Disclosure!

I obviously don't know how old you are but as I approached 55 (November 20th) I started to reflect on things...dangerous! We had talked at length about buying a little place on the coast...this was after Louise amazed me by suggesting it!! So, that's the surprise, we've done it.

Where?

Holmpton...like I said...Where!

Here...



Only a modest abode but we like it. I especially like it as it's 7 miles from Spurn!!!
For the foreseeable future it will be our weekend retreat but eventually it will be our retirement home. I might even be able to find my own MEGA? The village itself is remarkably wooded along a mainly arable Holderness coastline.





So that's it, the secrets out. We're both glad we've taken the plunge. Lots of people talk about it...but never DO it...

Appointment with Physio' next week, then meeting with consultant to decide on the next step regarding the Hip. I've been working the muscles but the joint is still sore...

    Well done Alan. Holmpton is ace for birding! 2 YBWs there when I visited this autumn and in the last couple of years mates have found Pallas's Warbler and probable Paddyfield which evaporated. Every chance of a mega as very underwatched.

    Good move Alan!

    All the best for your new home, and a few top birds in the village before long. There's nothing like walking out of the front door knowing there could be a Y-browed, Pallas's or Radde's just down the road!

    Thanks for the kind words Chaps. Trying not to appear too smug!
