Notes:-Mousehole on the way to the old bakery in Falmouth. Lovely place although day spoilt a bit by texts from Sis about mum. Caught up with Sis in the evening, we havent spoken for a few weeks. She texted with a message about a difficult visit with mum last week. So I called to catch up. She also said they have decided to sell Heatherlea. Its not getting used much and now Mum cant go they think it is time to let it go. Not surprised but very sad. Asked about going in October but Sis was unsure as they need to get some work done ahead of putting it on the market. Sad for the family, told the boys and they want to go up but I dont think we will get a chance. We can always go up and camp or stay in another holiday let but it wont be quite the same. I always thought there would be a way to keep it in the family. None of us have ever known it not being there. It’s equally tough with whats happening to mum and having to sell Knuckleskuds… I know I have a real emotional connection to these two places, somehow I always thought they would be there. I think maybe that’s part of why I feel so sad at the minute. Mad as it may sound but loosing Mum to dementia and consequently Knucleskuds as my old family home and now heatherlea leaves a bug hole… theres always been a bit of me which felt I could always go home to Mum or escape to Skye. Sas said she felt the same when she lost her parents. But we have made a decision to find a bolt home of our own.
