I am a 52 year old widow and mother of 4 and I am taking myself and my dogs to a new home, job and lifestyle in beautiful South Devon for 6 months. Me and a girl I work with (more of Lois later!) have rented the above property and now all the paperwork is done I leave Kent and my home on Monday 11 March to make the 5 1/2 hour journey south west. Hopefully by Tuesday I will have a mattress!
I want to record this for myself and my children. But it will also hopefully help me move forward into a new chapter after nearly 3 years of grief. I feel the need to reflect and review after throwing myself into long tiring hours of work and running a home alone and this summer is for that, and beaches, and fun.
I have long loved the area around Kingsbridge with its lovely dog friendly beaches and stunning countryside. We holidayed there as a young family often. I know this cannot be a long holiday as I will be working to pay for 2 homes but I think work has kept me going and been really important to my mental, emotional and physical health. It is the between time which I need, somewhere new, and I intend to enjoy every moment of it.
Wish me well. Kate ❤️
