It sounds like you have already been through that process and emerged with a clear plan to sell. I hope that it doesn't linger on too much for you. There is nothing worse than waiting and waiting feeling in limbo.

But if I can give you some advice, take lots of photos now. Sometimes you return to see how a place that you poured heart and soul into is doing, and it is so sad to see if it has been neglected, so hold onto the happy memories, then move on and don't look back. You can look at the photos and remember the place fondly, but always in the past tense. Make a conscious decision that wherever you end up, that is now home, and you will make a daily choice to enjoy it for itself, without trying to compare it to what you left behind. It works, I promise!

The worst part when selling up the farm and moving on was the auction to sell the dairy herd of wonderful Jersey cows. Very traumatic!
