Firstly, congratulations to the Net on his promotion in the magnificent and superbly run HAPPY Prediction league.
Sorry, I have been away from internet connection for ten days looking at houses in France.
Secondly,
Thanks to all those on here kindly [and so generously too] surprising me with good wishes. Durham, Wessex, Burnsie, PWK, Barside, mfb, and many more ............I have not gone yet but..... when one's mortgage runs 'til you're 78 you maybe have to consider radical tactics.... So I've had to, especially after serving time at the hands of the NHS several times in 2014. Makes you think.
a bit like Radical Prediction league tactics [which almost failed me]........eh?
HL:- I had known for maybe the last 6 or 7 weeks of the season that a]I might be promoted and b] that I was likely to be away from a computer a lot soon.
SO......rather than be a nuisance to the HL organisers I tried to hinder my promotion.
That explains that even though it nearly failed.
Mr Happy - SO, thank you for calling me a 'master tactitian'...............not really but almost!!!! That 5-5 Swindon game certainly spooked me.
mfb, Pete, others. Yes I did infer what was happening on another thread. It is a necessity of life that we have to make the best of what cards we are dealt and I'm trying to.
Pete - yes, you are right that I will need to keep a website going because my pictures do sell all over the world but so radical is the move I contemplate that I will be dealing with a new house, a new location, a new language, a new way of life, a new studio etc and given the remote location I think internet issues will not be paramount for a while as I will be unable to make pictures for a significant period. Hence my explanation to Durham and Wessex about being absent from this great FORUM.
So...I've not gone yet but when I do it'll now be clear why and I promise that once I am sorted I will be back.
But yes, one thing is clear, I'll not be getting to as many U's games as even when I was on Alderney!
Up the U's and the U'sual Forum too.

Afternoon BnW.
The ever-challenging demands of life do often demand radical solutions, and yours is indeed a brave and radical one, but not without it's perks for an artist I'd say. I can see you seeking your inspiration from beneath the comfort of a shady parasol at some bohemian bistro, gazing out across a sun-drenched vista, packet of gauloises and a half-consumed cheeky bottle of red at your side.
Like you, I'm facing a move in the near future, as my son starts secondary school (a year early) in Calne in September - and living in Warminster, school in Calne and work in Salisbury just isn't going to work unfortunately. Nowhere near your adventure, but it still means devoting loads of time to getting this house ready for sale, and indeed finding somewhere new for myself as well.
So I wish you all the best with your move sir! |  |

Thank you Wessex.
Thank you for the encouragement. It's needed as it is a big deal. Hadn't thought of it as brave but I spose it is. Yes, the landscapes will appeal and make creative demands and at least everything costs so much less and there'll be no mortgage. Praps I will make it to Cuckoo Farm a few times!
I see your dilemma and a dilemma it is to leave Salisbury which is a very nice place. whatever you do it's the planning and how you plan that effects the success I reckon. So I can see you making a masterful switch even if it feels uncomfortable now. I wish you well with it.
Wessex is a very decent part of England - half my family came from north east Dorset!
I'll be on here for a bit yet as this place needs to sell before I can act.
In the meantime Up the Usual! | |

Well fortunately I will retain custody of Salisbury in the ensuing maelstrom, as my place of work, but likely more often interspersed with trips to the Bristol office from our new home in Calne. It'll be Warminster I'll lose, which will be a big shame, as I have really grown to love the place - but at the end of the day, it's only bricks and mortar, you just have to do what you have to do.
So, sell a few paintings, get yourself sorted, and maybe find an internet café to post from, and maybe we can expect the occasional blog from en France? In the spirit of your namesake Alistair Cooke, my vote goes for "BnW's French Letters"?
...obviously once Daniel archives them in the fullness of time, they can become "BnW's used French Letters"? | |

Yes Wessex I'll aim to be posting asap once I move [autumn maybe]. I am not altogether sure I could post with the handles you have just suggested - how can I possibly top those !! Epic!
It's kind of weird really but like you one has to do what one has to do.
One of my last deputy heads I appointed came from Calne and his family still like living there but I also like Warminster so I understand a bit of your emotions. At least the ghastly Swinedon game is still close. Horrid place.
Anyway I am sure you're right and a quiet corner of France will inspire my silkscreen and I'll have to tottle off to the Maire to ask how I go about selling and paying their taxes!
A little bar will also do the trick and I have unearthed several artisan [proper] brewers in the not too far flung vicinity!
But I will return to the HL for sure and iindeed your blog idea is a goodun.
All very odd for a quiet bloke from Castle Hedingham .............
Frenchbarside?
Lost in France CUFC ?
I'll keep thinking on | |

"Gallic_exile"
"Bonne_Tyler" (see what I did there?)
"Peanut"
Whatever you do, don't put it out to a vote, you could end up as Slugpellet! ;-) | |
