So that’s it. The packers have been and the house is empty
(almost). Just a few last bits to sell or give away, but it’s done – finally.
It is starting to feel real now. We are actually leaving Doha! We have one month
left to enjoy Doha just as the winter is coming and the weather is starting to
be bearable.
I am finding it so amazing how well Oliver has adapted to
the change and how he is taking it all in his stride. Watching his toys get
packed up and not knowing when or where he will see them next. It shows his
maturity and his ability to cope with situations that other children will never
experience. It shows what a well-rounded and well balanced little boy he is. He
is an absolute little star.
I feel such relief that we are all done, but at the same
time sadness that we are leaving our little home. We have lots of fond memories
in this villa. After 7 years of being in Doha, this is
the place which felt most like home. Probably down to the fact we made it our home
with our own furniture, but also the fact that it became the family home. Or
perhaps it could have all been down to Bailey’s bar, the best bar in Doha,
where the fun never ends!
So we are now ‘homeless’ and I am left wondering what our next
home will look like. Although the prospect of moving into a new house in a new
country is quite exciting, it is also quite daunting as we literally have no
idea about accommodation type or location. But hey, that’s life and for now we
will be heading back to Sheffield for some Christmas cheer and to catch up with
family and friends before our onward journey to our next destination.
