farewell

i've decided to close down this blog. i have been thinking about it for some months now. surprisingly i've become very attached to this blog and see it as a wonderful archive of our travels with percy. however we are now also travelling with talvin. it suits me better to start afresh. additionally i want to write about more than our lives as they are focused on percy. our lives do encompass other things (sometimes!) i want to include talvin and paul as central characters, not just the cameos they've held to date. to stay true to "travelswithpercy" wouldn't allow that. it's time for a new story.

i thought initially i would stop here and start elsewhere at the beginning of this year, then at the 12 week pregnancy point, then at percy's second birthday, then at talvin's birth... for whatever reason most of these milestones have come and gone with no change. there is nothing particular about today. it's just time and i'm feeling brave enough to do it. i do almost feel that if this blog stops i will be forgetting and denying the amazing travels we've had over the past three years. i know that's not really the case but as i said above; i've become really attached to this blog. maybe i have blog withdrawal!

i hope anyone still reading has enjoyed filling a spare moment with our tale. it will continue, i'm just not sure where or in what form.

travel well... the sun on your face and a breeze at your back...

No! No! NO! I'm actually a bit gutted about this. I love reading your blog. I find it interesting, well-written, and funny (basically you all over). I do understand your reasons and have struggled with the same issues myself. However, I will really miss your updates and funny (sometimes sad) stories. Believe it or not, I've learned a lot of from you. Let me know if you start another blog. Lots of love, Sarah.
