Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I won’t be able to oil paint over east @outlander ..... but I don’t have the heart for it at the moment anyway. It would mean going out and buying all my equipment all over again as well ..... all the paints, brushes, easels etc ..... and we don’t have a ventilated area for it either.

Acrylics are a possibility.

I have to wait until I am ready, and that’s not yet.

One step at a time.

Feeling for you @Faith-and-Hope, I would hate to have to relocate at tbe moment, I is something that I do need to contemplate for the future employment wise and it concerns me.

Do you know if there any churches close to your new home that are same or similar in values/ teaching? I know how valuable this can be.

We started at our current church in the middle of a crisis (darling was in hospital at the time) and the support we have recieved without even knowing our situation has been amazing. I often wonder how I would have coped without it.

Without discrediting the value of family support, existing support networks, friends, church medical alliances is not something easily replaced making relocating a hard call at the best of times. For me anyway.

When we moved to our current location (over 18 years ago now) I did not give this nearly enough consideration. At the time I was focused on gaining employment before our wedding so I could provide for my wife, I would have moved anywhere simply to have a job. Something I have regrets about. I wonder if things could have been different if my darling could have stayed in her own environment with her own friends and family close by. My family were closeish in distance but our two families were worlds apart and it was a big culture shock for my darling .

The fact that we were expected to travel and stay over every weekend didnt help, in many ways we would have been better off being further away from my family,
