Having returned to Cardiff after ten years away I have so many memories, and so many places which tug at my heart.
And as my family merged into my thoughts, I realised something.
We moved here because of a view.
The house we live in met our tick list- four bedrooms, one for each child.
But lots of houses met our tick list.
But this house is our home because we fell in love with the view.
Which in turn backs onto the sea.
We reach the sea by walking for five minutes.
This is what caused Mr J to accept our move.
It doesn't matter that he prefers views of the Pennines, and I prefer views of Cardiff Bay or Castell Coch.
We have found a view.
It wasn't his.
It wasn't mine.
But now.
It is ours.
