Moving Out
Since Emily started at York University in October, she's been commuting every day from Leeds, which has been a bit of a pain because of all the extra time it takes.
She and Gareth are buying a house in York - small but perfectly formed, and it will ensure they're broke for a while - but nevertheless a much better idea than renting.
And yesterday - after about a month's delay of all the things that you get when you're buying a house - they finally got the keys. We were in Huddersfield and I went off to do some work in Bradford and Emily caught the train to York.
They stayed in the house overnight with camping gear, because they could, and they'll gradually move in completely.
It seemed strange here last night. Very quiet.
Of course, it's a Good Thing.
And, actually, they're back in Leeds tonight at a meeting, and tonight they're staying here. Tomorrow they'll take some more stuff over to York.
And, of course, it's a Good Thing, as I said. Wouldn't want it any other way.
Look, it's my blog, and I'll cry if I want to.

Leslie says : shouldn't that be 'party' ?

Empty nest syndrome is a well recognised psychological condition. However what I find amusing about this website:
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/womenshealth/features/ens.htm
is the banner ad across the top (I don't know whether this ad changes) when I saw the page - it's a Tesco ad for 'Groceries delivered to your door' with the strap line 'Every little helps'.
I suspect it doesn't.
But at least you will know where your towels are - and that will not be on their bedroom floor!
You'll miss her loads, but it's the start of a new stage of your lives - and the peace and quiet might be nice now and then! ;)
