Autumn leaves 🍂

At this time of year, it seems everything in nature is undergoing change. The leaves are turning colour and falling. It’s getting markedly cooler, as squirrels gather nuts, small mammals that we hardly ever see, are making nests and stocking up for the Winter.

The days are getting shorter by minutes every day, even though we’ve had a reprieve from getting up in the pitch dark with our clocks changing, but of course, the evenings have virtually disappeared, and we seem to be straight into those long dark nights. 

Picture taken at Whitley Bay, Newcastle when Roger and Tyrone went for a morning swim before a day of property viewing!

I have already spotted Christmas decorations on sale in a few shops, which seems way too early for me, but then maybe I’m just an old scrooge!

The kids are all excited over Halloween, but we’ve never paid any tribute to it, and the most I will do is make soup as pumpkins readily available for next to nothing!

We, as a family, have undergone a lot of change this year, but I know that a lot of you might have as well. So where is the constant in our lives, if there is any? I heard a saying years ago as part of a sermon actually, that said: “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space”! That sounds like fun, but sometimes it just isn’t right?

Our constant is the business that continues as usual. Mind you, when I say constant, I’m also saying constant change and growth on that front too, streamlining procedures, and always staying ahead of the game - well, trying to anyway. 

The property market is always fluctuating, but the constant is that we all need somewhere to live, and from our side of things, there are still so many rundown houses out there, with so many investment opportunities. I had my grandchildren with me yesterday and was chatting to another Grannie. We were talking about them saving their pennies, and she said she’d been telling her granddaughter to put her money in the bank. The answer was apparently a definite “Nooo”! She wanted to keep it where she could see it. While I don’t suggest we all do that, I do suggest you look at the property market to make a return on your money, as opposed to putting it in the bank.

Chat to our sourcing agents for more information, and enjoy this time of year and all it brings with it.
