Kate, you continue to be an inspiration to me. Now in the dark days of November, your missive gave me comfort and motivated me to sort out my food cupboards. I so love your writing. Please keep us updated with developments, and thank you for sharing your life with us.

Happy birthday! And I think you are so right not to give up on living in Camont yet. I'm 65 and my husband is 71, and we are surprised at how some friends a decade younger are already settling in to senior-style living. Live where you love it, while you can!

Happy birthday month to you, happy planning, happy winter months - once you've acclimatised to longer days of course!

Oh Kate, of course you can't leave Camont - its part of who you are!

My husband and I had the 'do we need to downsize, can we (me) seriously keep all this land maintained, haul in logs, fix roofs etc.. conversation on his birthday at the beginning of the month, he is convinced we do, I know we do not! I would rather drop down trying than leave this old rambling house, this hill because it is all of me! Thankfully Seth who knows no other home, now nearly 16 and strong agrees so we stay... thank goodness! X
