[6grand]

Sounds like your adventure has already begun. Best of luck with the move and getting settled in and for your future in a new country.

I lived in Wales for a year (Swansea) and loved it! It was beautiful and the people were absolutely lovely. You are going to have a wonderful time!

What a coincidence, Dona! We'll be living in Newcastle Emlyn in Ceredigion which borders on Camarthenshire and isn't really all that far away from Llandeilo. Do you still have relatives there? And you're absolutely right, the scenery there is breathtakingly beautiful and I'm really looking forward to living there, making new friends and exploring.

I really envy you living there as some of my forebears came from Wales (Merthyr Tydfil & Llandilo Fawr in Carmarthenshire) not that long ago. Keep us updated with some layouts of your new surroundings and new sorts of fun things to do; I look forward to hearing and seeing more of your adventures in Wales!

Thank you so much, Darlene, for your warm and wonderful lines! You know I still can't quite believe in what a dramatic way my life has changed in such a short space of time and in one way it almost scares me a bit but on the other hand I think of it as a wonderful, unexpected gift that was given to me and I just have to embrace this chance of love and happiness wholeheartedly!

You're right, of course, there are just so many things to organise and sort out before the actual move but the days and weeks untl March 28th will pas so very quickly and then I can focus on settling in my new home, my new environment, my new country! And once I've settled I will be back! :)

That is one big move and change for you, but it's all so very exciting and we can all feel your excitement even though emails are basically "expressionless". I only wish you all the joy and happiness in the world. You have a lot on your plate right now, but really looking forward to you settling back down and getting back to the hobby you love. You will have a beautiful stash of pictures to scrap by then I'm sure. Maybe a "moving" kit is in order?!!

Best of luck to you hun!
