Brotherly update

[bellinghman]

Further to this post, sister now has a new house. She's had to pay cash because her last relationship left her with a trashed credit rating (as well as a very sour taste in her mouth) as a result of her being injudicious in trusting her fellow financially. However, with her inheritance and with a few thousand loaned to her by bellinghwoman and me, she's managed to scrape together enough money and get herself a semi, in Bosham near Chichester.

She's going to be paying us back in what she doesn't have to spend on rent.

We may decide to drop in on her on the 24th. Hey, it's not far from the house-warming we're going to already. Only the next door county, and if we're having to go south of the river anyway ...

Chichester's not south of the river, it's west of the river. ("The river" is now the Medway.)

Thames, dear lad, Thames. We've not gone native.

(Though in my sister's case, the adjacent bits of water are all called 'creek' or 'channel'.)
