February was quite a month of highs and lows for The Burnout Queens, but it’s all in the attitude that keeps us sane (for now at least)!
It all kicked off with another roof leak, rendering one bedroom uninhabitable! The Burnout Pup thought the futon on the floor was fabulously fun (we’re calling it their first attempt at camping). Youngest pup turned a big 7 years this February but unfortunately the month ended with the eldest pup developing serious back problems. Vet declared 2 weeks of bedrest meaning some serious puppy sitting. (It seems The B-Queen is also following the vet’s advice!)
Seriously behind in biz promises because of puppy-outages AND power-outages during 2 different named (yes named) windstorms from North America leaving us without emails and internet access. We wish to thank our North American friends yet again this year for sharing the awful winter weather.
Now the leak, well we’ve decided to avoid living in a demolition zone while they fix this thing so a move is on the horizon. This means we have been hopping trains to favourite neighbouring villages looking at flats, historic cottages, and wee houses close to beauty and history. Think tea shops, theatre, nature and artists, then throw in a splash of racing (horses or cars) and you have Chichester as the destination (we know, it’s a hard life when you love adventures)! Imagine Roman walls (yes Roman) surround the inner town with a market cross in the centre.
Around every little corner of this Town is a little garden or a little lane.
And then there’s the combined beauty of nature in The Bishops Garden (seat of the Bishop of Chichester) with the grandeur of the Cathedral (can you imagine Christmas).
Not bad pickings for a possible new town eh what?!
In March we’ll be exploring another option if the little fella is back on his feet again. In the meantime, we are taking the days one at a time and taking care to work, rest and nourish ourselves during a very unsettling time.
Until next month, Grab Life by the Crown!
Love,
