Saying Goodbye to Baverwood Hall

Woke up this morning to a dusting of snow. The lady banks rose is budding into leaf and the small butter yellow roses will bloom after we leave Baverwood Hall. Yes, we’re leaving Baverwood Hall. The Grumpy Vegan’s seat for 17 years and the home we built in a house that was, well, a mess. Last night, the Grumpy Vegan had his final personal day spa in the jacuzzi tub. No more. No more Baverwood Hall. No more morning sunlight pouring into the bedroom. No more ruby red sunsets backdropping the Baltimore city skyline. We won’t enjoy the Lady Banks climbing over the arbor built in January. We will never fulfill our dream of morning coffee on the deck along from our bedroom in the cool summer mornings and one-for-the-roads with the twinkling lights and sounds before we go to bed at night. Baltimore — and, more specifically — Canton has been good to us and we put a lot back into the community through our volunteerism. Soon, we move to the Baltimore County into temporary accommodation and, then, in June we return to England. It’s going to be difficult saying goodbye to Baverwood Hall.
