Stand by your beds

We’re due an inspection…

alright, its not an inspection, its a visit, and to be honest its very welcome.

A friend is coming up from Wales to talk about our future plans, we’re coming to a point where we need to take some fairly important decisions about future direction in terms of location, work and so on. Its great to be able to get the input of wise friends who are willing to drive for five hours or so just to discuss options with us.

Perhaps part of the reason I’ve not been blogging a lot recently is that we’re at this kind of pivot point, and trying to work through decisions about where our commitments lie over the next few years. We made a three year commitment to live here in Grimsby, which will be up in just over one year’s time. But because of the kind of things we are getting involved in, we need to begin to take decisions which will affect our situation in the years after that.

So here’s hoping that we’ll have plenty of wisdom in our conversations over the next day or two, and that by this time next week, I’ll be able to begin sharing some of the plans we have been mulling over.

Although, of course, Burns was absolutely right to point out:

The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley

So we wont hold them too tightly.
