Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

And so it was that we arrived back to the glorious summer of ’80’s. The summer rays seemed to soften the pain of return – or was that the whiskey and brandy snaps?
My MIL still remained close by so the kids elected to stay with her a while and I and the young wifie stayed with close friends and their toddler daughter No 1. We taught them the art of outdoor barbecuing, a HK past-time we had grown accustomed to? And so with our meagre assortment of belongings on the high seas we sat on deck-chairs and dreamed of fonder things! Tbc.

We really had no firmed up plans at all – HK govt had paid us a handsome gratuity which would keep us going for a few years. But then we grew restless – lazing around is not good for the soul! I was still comparatively young [21 ish] and with my craftsman’s background could still find work easily. So I found a local ‘job’ with accommodation and moved into a 3 bedroom apartment in the heart of Hants and work ready. Wot a bore!

But it was money coming in and easy peasy no get greazy? Ya know wot I mean? I had sold an immaculately polished Renault 16 on leaving for honkers but now purchased a clapped out Renault 15, but ‘beggars’ can’t be choosers – we wanted to conserve our funds as we still felt restless. And so we all settled into wot seemed to be a life we’d never left.

Kids re-engaged with school life, I to my artisans lifestyle and the young wiffie kindling the open hearth! We mostly just re-connected with old friends ; it seemed more comfortable to achieve! But I was still restless. We looked at homes to purchase and I was lured with the promise of future promotions but none of this prevailed and finally the decision was made – perhaps with a slightly heavy heart – the ‘swagmans song’ as did the song of the sirens lured us ever onwards! Again we had to prevail those final barbecues and fond farewell parties. I ‘tarted’ up the old Renault 15 and sold it on but this time the departure was different.
