Gosh I need a break from all the noise!!
The noise from outside … the chainsaws, hedge trimmers lawn mowers, electric tools of all sorts of description, engines, traffic, chatter ... but I also need a break from the noise in my head.
The noise telling me that things aren't right. That things need to be sorted. I know once I do the quiet will come back, but I have big decisions to make and lots of noise to drown out. It's been tough for months now, and no doubt there are even tougher times to come.
But it will be a relief to sit on the deck of a caravan, listen to the stillness and be back to a simplicity that allows me to see the beauty and magic that is truly left in this world.
Have office ... will travel.

Hope you can enjoy the tranquil times again soon and do what you must for inner peace. xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to tranquil times, thanks :-)
DeleteI keep dreaming about sitting outside the tent overlooking the sea on a sunny day hearing nothing but the waves and the birds. But it's absolutely freezing up here and I can't get away for a break just now anyway (haven't had a break in over 5 years, long overdue!). I think I know how you're feeling right now!! Hope you get the peace to make the right decisions xx
ReplyDeleteOoh yes, a tent would be soooo cold at the moment. But waves and birds sound good don't they, I had just that earlier as I walked the dogs on West Shore Llandudno.
DeleteWhen can you go back to the static caravan? We open on 1st March, but the groundworks have been so delayed for one reason and another (and there is mud everywhere) it will be great fun!
ReplyDeleteI return to Van Life on 28th February … somehow that sounds SO much closer then 1st March, but in reality only two days … not long to go now!!
DeleteOh how I'd love to sit on the porch of that cabin soaking up the sweet sounds of stillness. You are one strong and determined lady and before you know it you will have everything all sorted and be back to the peace of the caravan.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a simple wooden cabin, but the Van is the next best thing, and I guess it has a lot more modern conveniences :-)
DeleteThings are just not right in the world at the moment and everything combines to make the idea of peace and tranquility very attractive doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteI think you've hit the nail on the head Pat, the world seems so at odds with everything at the moment doesn't it, no wonder so many of us are feeling this way too.
DeleteI'm with you on the need for peace and quite - I'm sure our minds and bodies weren't designed to work in noisy rushed environments. If nothing is there to stop you pack your bags and go. Or bid your time thinking of the bliss to come.
ReplyDeleteI'm biding my time for now, not long to go.
DeleteSuch a sad post, I do hope you can find resolutions. I can't say I know how you feel because I am not you but I do know what it is to be in turmoil , I have had the most terrible last 10 years, but when I write that, it wasn't all of it but pretty much and the saddest part is that it was all out of my control and still is but I did what I had to do and shall carry on doing it.I have to make the most of moments of happy and hope that they will become more and do my best to give the impression that all is well. I have had to learn to deal with what I do have control over and just hope the rest turns out ok.I sincerely hope that you can make the right decisions for YOU , and be happy, and from reading your blogs it seems that you don't ask for much, just a simple life, your lovely dogs , a simple home and peace, it's there somewhere and I hope you find it soon, I am aiming for that too. Best wishes ,Chrissie.x
ReplyDeleteWise words Chrissie, very wise words. xx
DeleteI hope you get your quiet times very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you. xx
DeleteI do sympathise. Have you ever heard of Sara Maitland? She has written a great deal about living in silence (some of her books are faith based, but not all), and she has taken living a quiet life to the extreme, living alone on a remote moor with only her dog for company. She's a fascinating person to read about.

I hadn't heard of her, but I have just spent some time looking around her website, thank you for this. xx
DeleteWishing you inner peace and the blessing of silence. When can you move back to the caravan?

On the 28th February, not long to go now :-)
DeleteSending you a hug, hoping you find peace and quiet soon, or at least enough peace to come to the right decissions for you. Helen S.x
ReplyDeleteAww … thank you. xx
DeleteThe external noise, we have no help for.
ReplyDeleteThe internal noise, we have to deal with ourselves. I wish you well, with doing so.
Gentle hugs...
Thank you. xx
DeleteYou have not got long now Sue and you can continue on your peaceful journey (as long as you take us with you). The calm will come again and happiness will return. From reading other people's comments I think we all feel the same about wanting a calmer happier life. Hope we all find it.
ReplyDeleteGosh I hope we do too :-)
