Me: Harriet is still sitting by the window.
Nell: It’s where she likes to be.
Me: You’re all going to miss looking out at that view.
Nell: So are you. You’ve spent nearly eight years writing next to it.
Me: I’m going to miss this view more than anything when we leave.
Nell: The wonderful thing, however, is it’s been captured by Derek for the animation series so it will always live on as part of our world.
Me: Yes.
Nell: We’ve made some lasting memories here.
Me: Some happy and some sad.
Nell: That’s always the way.
Me: You’ll be pleased to hear the house is almost completely packed up now.
Nell: It needs to be. We’re moving in a few days.
Me: We’ve got so much stuff. Both Kev and I find it hard to let things go.
Nell: Nobody could call you minimalists.
Me: Definitely not.
Nell: You’ve made some changes, though
Me: Yes. The House on the Corner is smaller than here so we can’t take everything. There are a number of pieces of furniture from my mother that I’m having to let go.
Nell: I think it’s actually a good thing. Time to move on.
Me: You’re probably right. It’s not easy.
Nell: It’s not meant to be.
Me: I’m glad Princess can move her pool to the grounds of the stately home.
Nell: Yes. The Cat knows the owners. They also have a spare barn for the llamas.
Me: That’s a relief. Do we know if Babycakes Gillespie will be allowed his coffee cart in the village?
Nell: Rupert helped him apply for a licence.
Me: Knitwear Wolf is coming with us too, isn’t he?
Nell: ‘Where you go, I go, Nelly’ to quote his exact words. He’s staying nearby.
Me: Of course. Sorry.
