Blue

On Thursday, with two weeks to go, our buyer pulled out. We've gone through anger, tears, grief - feelings that don't spring to mind when it comes to moving house. We're devastated. Ridiculous really. After four months of to-ing and fro-ing and then nothing - with no explanation.

Manic tidying on Friday and Saturday to get ready for four viewings. All worthwhile - we now have two offers to consider.

Will we lose the chocolate box cottage? Who knows. I really hope not, but for now the only way to cope is detachment. No more planning.

At some point, I'll stop holding my breath.
