It's been a good Halloween!

Yesterday, was settlement on the old place in the US and today the proceeds showed up in my UK bank account. The good news was that it was a good bit more than I was expecting! Still not a lot of money, and certainly not what we had planned on, but we won't be starving anytime soon now

Looks like Tam is going to get a job and I'm gonna be a house husband for awhile. Me 'n Joshy can have some adventures together and I can work on some projects that I hope will turn into some income some day.

Anyway, maybe now I can relax a bit and enjoy life here in Cornwall!!
Cheers,
Bruce

Good to hear the news mate, it'll work out great for you I think

Reminds me a lot of my parents, who with me at the age of 3, packed up and left Switzerland and moved here to Australia to start again. It was tough for the first little bit, but as a family we never regretted it!

Bruce Halloween has gone and next is the old English tradition of bonfire night. Remember this phrase "Penny for the guy mister". This will be your first 5th of November, enjoy it.

Hey Bruce,

If I could, I would like to spend every minute with my son since this is the time that he's interacting a lot (14 months old).

Enjoy each moment with your lil one.

Regards,

Vernon
