I planned never to write another entry here, but with all the support we received along the way for this journey it seemed a bit mean not to come back and let you know we are all alive and well.
Dan and I parted ways at the start of last year and my time at The Old Post Office came to an end, which may seem a little abrupt to you but possibly less so to us.
I moved back to Brisbane with Lucinda, and am still here, living a very different life from the one I shared on this blog, but a great life nonetheless.
He has mentioned one day taking over this space to keep telling the story of the house - I hope he will.
I've had a few people ask if it was the scope of the renovation that ended our marriage and I always say no. It probably didn't help, but it wasn't the reason.
For now, onward and upward. Thanks for following along with our adventures and I wish you all the best with your own.
Edwina
Thank you Edwina, that was both brave and kind of you to bring us up to date. You seem in a good space and so i wish you all well. I hope Dan picks up the blog as well.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you the other day, wondering about The Old Post Office. Thank you for letting us know where you are. My best wishes to you all in your new space.
ReplyDeleteI have popped back to this space a few times hoping to find you well, and it's lovely to hear that you are. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all and I wish you well in the next chapter of your life! I found you a fantastic blogger! xo
ReplyDeleteI thought you were just snowballed under with renovations. Thanks for letting us know. I hope you all stay well in your respective houses. If you plan to blog somewhere else, let us know (if you don't mind sharing). :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you couldn't have the dream of living in the country with your family. I have been checking in every now and then to find out how the renovations were going. That is a beautiful photo of you and your daughter. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane
ReplyDeleteI've followed your renovation for quite some time....I'm so sorry to hear about your current situation. Best wishes for the future.
ReplyDeleteHi edwina,
ReplyDeleteThat's really sad news, so sorry to hear but I'm glad you are happy in our life's journey. I miss your lovely posts. Good luck for the future xx
Oh Edwina, I'm so sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you sound happy. I had checked back on the blog quite a few times, but thought life had just got too hectic for you. All the best for the future and thank you for giving us a great blog.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on IG and wondered what happened. It would be nice to see a peal of the renovations. But even better that you are in a happy place
ReplyDeleteOf you ever blog again, let us know
DeleteHi Edwina,
ReplyDeleteThat was very kind of you to share that with us. I always appreciate honesty in the blogosphere, as it's not something you come by often (and I completely understand why you couldn't share this news until now). I've never commented before and you don't know me, but I read your blog from the beginning and I have been checking it at least monthly since you stopped posting, hoping that you'd come back. Good to hear everyone's well and the renovation hasn't halted completely. I hope that Dan takes over this blog. Life is complex and wonderful. Onwards and upwards indeed.
Best wishes,
Emma
Thanks for the update, I hope all goes well for you.
ReplyDeleteOh I wondered what happened! Glad to hear you're ok. Good luck :-)
ReplyDeleteEdwina I did often wonder how things were going with you. Pleased to hear the update and that you are travelling well. I hope someday to read an Addendum.2 about your new life adventures. cheers Wendy
ReplyDeleteHi. It's great to see you back here. Of course, I also follow you on IG so had an idea of what was going on. Whatever you end-up doing I hope you blog something. You're a writer so you must miss it a bit, and on top of that I find you amusing. Life's life. It's not perfect and we have to make the best of how it pans out. (I love a platitude). It would be nice to see how the Post Office ends-up, so if Dan chooses to document that I'd read along.xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming back and letting us know you're ok.
ReplyDeleteI have checked in a few times too and had wondered what happened. Sorry to hear things didn't work out. Glad you are living a great life in Brisbane and good luck with whatever the future holds.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your bravery in sharing what can be a tough bit of news. Hoping that Dan will pick up the blog for those of us wanting to see the finished product. As for you, you creativity and wit in writing will take you far. If you should choose to begin a new blog. . . . please keep us in the loop.
ReplyDeleteIm sorry to hear what happened I always kept an eye out on your blog Im glad your ok and best of luck to you and Lucinda
