OUR SECOND HOME
We are
spending Christmas and New Year’s Eve in Nantwich, England. This picturesque
town in Chesire has become our second home as we have visited it several times,
ever since Janet’s daughter married a boy from there and started her own
family.
Sadly, my family is
scattered and never able (or willing) to get together for the holiday, but over
the passing years the melancholy has dissipated and has given way to a
triumphant joy as I have embraced this new direction of my life. I look forward
to seeing again all the “Dabbers”, as the citizens of Nantwich are called, that
I have come to know over the years and, of course, the grandchildren.
Familiar are her
streets and alleyways, her pubs, coffeeshops and smiles, her tidy homes fronted
by prim and proper gardens and the leaning timbers of old Tudor edifices, and her
magnificent cathedral that chimes out the day’s passing. There is so much to love here.
Nantwich is our second
home.
Thanks for reading!
Live love and travel,
and Merry Christmas
Janet and greg
