Autumn (aka Fall in some places) is always a time of change and mostly small changes.
My biggest event of the autumn is the Harwich International Shanty festival, where I am photographer, webmistress and part-time social media manager. The weather held for our mid-October festival weekend and many thousands enjoyed the local hospitality. I am very active during the festival so anyone attending will almost certainly have seen me!
By the end of that month some major changes had happened – I’m told that the house I rent has been sold and that I have until New Year 2025 to relocate. Then my daughter decides to just leave – she’s several hundred miles away.
That means I can move into a smaller place but I have a house full of stuff!
I don’t really need this hassle with the winter (and Christmas) fast approaching!
So, what next?
I don’t know yet, I am looking in multiple directions and trying to make plans. Meanwhile daughter wants me to send her stuff up to her – I’m not yet certain I can justify the cost.
Plus la change!
