If you lived closer we would dog sit. It's your own fault for living so far away.

Thanks all we've decided on Steve/Stevie for his name I think (sorry Ben, that name is destined for when you get your dog )

It’s your fault for living so far away! Move to Wales.

You'd have two people to move, we'd have kids, dog, cat, parents and their assorted animals. You know the smart answer is for you to come here.

You could get a farm house with land. And then host garden soirees with views of the Brecons. It’s be worth the hassle.

Have you ever been on the Monmouth and Brecon canal? Is it close-ish to you? It's a really short canal, but you find yourself winding round a mountain with a steep drop off on one side and a mountain rising on the other. Easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

Yes, we often head around there, and around Wye Valley in the summer/autumn. Glorious places.

Gorgeous puppy! Very cute names! We just lost our cat Frodo in Ireland earlier this year, he was 11. The name Stevie does look like it suits him!

…it’s funny how things can happen all-together like that at times, hugely emotional times and such a ‘flood’ like that is quite overwhelming…I hope that your son is living his very best life in the US…

Yes he’s actually living the dream with his lovely wife and two beautiful children a couple of miles from Disney

Just a shame we are such a tiny part of their lives

I initially fell into a 9 month depression when he left us … could be construed as selfish I know

of course you miss them when they go but at the same time its great they're out there indendpendant and living their lives. It would be so much worse if they were home with you with no drive or direction

…yeah totally, I have a boy who lives overseas as well and the greatest thing that we can give our children is confidence and self belief to be able to experience so any different things…I love having him back for stays…(…and I love when he goes home again……)…

Yes exactly i think sometimes people/couples lose themselves in parenting and feel lost when the kids fly the nest. Its good to maintain that couple relationship outside of just being parents as well.
