Callings
Called as if by the alluring enchantment of a Siren quite possibly? I’m considering a move after twelve years of relatively stable home ownership in dear old Prestbury. There are reasons for this, some of which are private (but not hugely significant) others have to do with some newly acquired and deep seated desire for a simple change of scenery. In fact ‘scenery’ is one of the keywords underpinning this whole idea, I need to pay homage to Bollington’s White Nancy on a daily basis — or similar; as it might be. I don’t intend to give away all of my prospective purchasing secrets just yet, but I do know what I want and I think I know how to get it to paraphrase the famous song. Other locations that are calling yours truly include the beautiful and sedate hamlet of Kerridge and the more remote and rugged surroundings of Rainow. The idea is to provide oneself with some extra cash whilst maintaining outright homeownership status and remaining in a rural location. Some of these locations are even more rural than my current one — some are downright remote! Cameras, cars and an essential boost to my free-lance career options have also become a major driving force.
As always, much of this is still at a certain stage of pure speculation but you never can tell if I may go off like an explosive and act on a speculation as if it where just the blue touch paper. Of course, I may also just simply fizzle out and spend the rest of my life in a state of interminable status quo.
Anything is possible within the coming weeks and the likely direction of my life does still depend on a number of external arbitrary factors.
