Countdown

I think I have discovered time travel, or at least the manipulation of time.

Let me fill you in with a few details.
I currently live in Shitsville or Great Yarmouth as it is officially known. Complete with foul mouthed parents,screaming kids, and Chavs in their crap cars blasting out shit music. Why can't the play some proper tunes from proper bands of the likes of Slayer ,or Megadeth ,or Machinehead ,or even if push comes to shove a bit of commercial Metallica , but the older stuff would be better!!
Don't even get me started on the gobby parents that swear at their poor young children. All I can say without ranting is "no future".
Shitsville

 I work as welder building aluminium catamarans for the offshore windfarm enterprise. Seems like I have been welding for ever,or at least my lungs feel like it. Prior to welding I was submariner for a time ,an experience not to forget.
I cannot remember the first time I picked up a camera,but it was a long time ago. I can remember my parents moaning about the amount of film I went through though.

I have been wanting to get out of welding for a long time,but it always seemed like a case of better the devil you know.
 That was until I met a fantastic woman. Fated to meet I am sure. She has rewired my brain, as only a woman can do, and has given me the drive that I lacked to pursue a career as photographer.
The idea/dream was to leave Shitsville behind, find a beautiful place in the country and build a new life and career. All very cliché.
Well fast forward to now.
We have found a  place.
It is truly mindblowing.
The Scottish Highlands.

The Dream no more
 No Chavs, no foul mouthed parents and their screaming kids, no Shitsville.
Just fantastic scenery, amazing wildlife, and lots and lots of sheep. And of course midges, but we have a secret weapon for them. Avon Skin So Soft. If its good enough for the Army it's good enough for us.

Now back to the time manipulation thingy.
It was three weeks ago to the day when we drove up to look at our new house. We fell in love with it immediately.
From the moment we said yes we will have it and set a date to move in, Time has stopped!!
Saying that though, it is a week till the move, so time hasn't really stopped, it just bloody feels like it.
