What interrupted your sitting fun?

I’ve acquired an Allotment :hibiscus::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

What type of things have interrupted your house/pet sitting fun in the past or indeed currently? I’ve got a two week booking in Jersey C.I. UK over Xmas/NYE but that’s it at the moment… I’m just too busy.

A house move interrupted us but loving where we are so not as inclined to sit elsewhere at the moment.
We did a Xmas sit in Jersey (Gorey) a couple of years ago. Lovely house and dog - shocking weather. Enjoy

It was shoulder high brambles, bindweed and nettles… plus couch grass. I did a bit of tidying it by hand for 5 days to see what I had- then hired a digger!! I don’t mess about haha.

I’ve been doing few sits this year versus during the past couple of years, because of nonsit travel. And I plan to do a bunch more of that, so I’ve not booked sits going forward.

I normally don’t sit during year-end holidays anyway, so usually stop around October each year.

Selling a yacht and buying a glider. I am now a gliding widow. But never mind the hounds of Hampshire keep me occupied and well exercised in the summer. And I can persuade him to go elsewhere in the winter.

my husband and I did the same as Bonny (on Vancouver Island) and have our own menagerie now. We now do only non-sit travel when our sons can stay here.
