Hopefully you also find comfort in the fact that you're leaving that piece of the world much more lush and beautiful for those to follow.

You are right, your knowledge is coming with you and that is irreplaceable. When I feel overcome with the work load here I try to remind myself that I am only working by the deadlines I have created for myself--there is really no one dictating that every weed be pulled, the lawn mowed, the edges trimmed, at all times. It is only that I wish it were so :) The design and building is the part I enjoy but it was stressful trying to get everything "right the first time" until I realized it's the journey, not the destination that matters. We are very much a work in progress. My only advice is to tackle only a realistic number of projects per year and not make yourself ill working too hard! sevenoverbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364781187875610954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-64587015647754974782016-06-17T08:07:58.298-07:002016-06-17T08:07:58.298-07:00I was the same when we moved two years ago everyth...I was the same when we moved two years ago everything was just how I wanted it, it was only regular maintenance to keep on top of the garden and I left it all behind to start again with an overgrown neglected garden and a field I wanted to turn into a fruit and veg plot, 2 years on and its all falling into place, I am still unpacking boxes though :-) Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
