laura_seabrookIt seemed like Mum was finally going to move from Woodbridge to somewhere in Midland, to a place she really liked, but it's not happening now. The deal fell through at both ends.
It wouldn't have mattered that much if the guy who was planning to buy her home didn't come through (he didn't), because one of my brothers was going to finance her anyway in the short term. But there were problems with the place she was moving in to - it seems that the husband (who was also a carer for his wife) had a heart attack and needed to stay somewhere with good transport. So it goes.
Odd, I felt that Mum was definitely going to move there, or somewhere that looked pretty much like it. When I broke up with Carol years ago I had my heart set on moving to #1 in a block of twenty flats that I'd checked out. Just kept on thinking about it so much, that I was was disappointed when someone else got it. But - #7 in the same block came up for lease as well, and when I looked at it I found that it was a mirror image of #1, so I was quite happy with that (and in general happy living there).
Maybe Mum will find a place like that.
