Jolly good. I wanted to reach retirement with my family still living with or at least near to me. We had enough room in our old farmhouse and enough land to build or extend and I was really looking forward to not having the empty nest syndrome cos I loved my two youngest and their older brother too but he's a bit special whereas his sister and brother were brilliant.

However my now ex wife threw a spanner in the works and that killed that plan and of course my son died last year, the brilliant one, so its a good thing I met Tammy my N.Y wife who has been a real companion to me since we share the same art interests and writing too.

She would NOT have wanted my kids surrounding us.
