Beside the seaside, beside the sea

Less than 90 minutes after deciding to look at it, we were there. The condition left nothing to be desired, it was immaculate. The owner told us the history of the vehicle, and just why it had such a low mileage. It was perhaps not an unusual story of the first owners suffering health problems soon after purchase, and sadly not being able to gain the pleasure from it they had intended. The story epitomised the reason why we had decided to go ahead now, and not wait until retirement. Who knows what the future holds? We were shown around the MH by the owner, who patiently answered our naive sounding questions, and demonstrated anything we asked about. I think we knew there and then that this was the one, but kept our powder dry, said our goodbyes, and took our Border Terrier to the beach, where we found the tide out, and were able to enjoy the golden sands in the sunshine, talk about our plans, and me to gain rather anorak type pleasure at the light aircraft doing the circuits at Blackpool Airport. Yes, offer day will be tomorrow. Let's not rush.
