Home

I'm home today, as I am most days since leaving the high pressure world of software development, and a realtor delivered a letter to our door asking if we'd been interested in selling our house.  Someone saw it and is interested in buying. Sorry whoever you are, while I understand your desire to live here (and I can't imagine anyone that wouldn't), we're not going anywhere. This is home, we love it here. And it's not just because we have a nice house in a pretty village. We are part of a community that is close knit and unique. The village is where you know all your neighbours. Where people band together if you need help, and even people you don't know waive as they pass you in their cars. It's where all the neighbourhood kids can go out and play and parents come out with snacks for the whole gang. It's home and we're staying.
