Two Identical Neko’s Are Always Better Than One =^.^=

Hello everyone it’s Motoko blogging again this evening, as Me and Jenny try and take it in turns to blog although I do think that I have blogged a lot more than my good wife has! Well since the last blog was typed and posted by my good wife Jenny, many things have happened and so I thought I would blog about some of the highlights. But as ever with our blogs let’s check out the forecast for the best place in England that is Cumbria.

So as you can see it’s going to be fairly wet here, which comes as no surprise as Cumbria is the wettest place in England. This means rubber boot and rainwear all around again, which working in rainwear all day really wears you out. It’s not that I dislike the rain, in fact I really enjoy it but it can be struggle to work outside in rain all day, rain which always seems to be wind blown as well.

Well then I and Jenny are finding out the high and low points of being a mother, and I knew it was not going to be a walk in the park. It’s maybe slightly harder taking into account the background story as to why our daughter Amanda was taken into care, and then fostered around and around before landed here with us and me and Jenny adopting her. But she is a strong and brave young woman and I admire her so much for that I really do and I know Jenny does as well. For me I think it’s hard as I don’t want to let her down by ill parenting skills but for the moment she says that we are doing really well.

The topic of conversation of late between me, Jenny, Amanda and my friend Ritsuko, has been about roots and backgrounds of us and where we are all from. Now then my friend Ritsuko is a fantastic and loyal friend and I have known her since our school days. She was the first friend I made on my first day of school in Japan. She is now living in England and working here in Cumbria on mine and Jenny’s yard, she been her now for a few years. All legal and with-in the law I wish to add and she has duel nat. her nickname is Neko and in Japanese Neko means cat, she got this nickname as she can find it so easy just to odd on be it on the top part of the back of a sofa or just crashed out on the floor.

So why are two nekos better than one I hear you ask? Well for four whole years Ritsuko was been tracking down a twin sister she thought she had. You see she found out from a relative that she was in fact a twin and that her twin sister had been adopted off very soon after birth, so you can understand Ritsuko’s reaction to this news. The moment she heard this news she confronted her parents and they (after a few months of denial) admitted that she did indeed have a twin sister. After four years Ritsuko found her sister, and after a few months of talking, planning they are going to meet up. The place in which they are going to meet is here in Cumbria, England. Needless to say that Ritsuko is now very nervous and worried that she did the right thing and remember that apart form talking online and via letters they have never met (a part from birth lol) in person, so this is a big step for them both. Ritsuko has allowed me to blog this as I did ask her permission.

That is that section of the blog done then and time to move on again. Amanda has been a fan of Chris Cornell and she enjoys his music. She said that she used to find comfort in his early musical solo work, and now she is adopted by us she doesn’t need that comfort his music gives her any more so she plays it for the musical enjoyment that she finds it in. Now I know his early work but his newest solo CD I am just really not keen on at all, not really my thing now. But I do like some of his rock tracks he made of some of his non rock tracks on his newest solo CD. Below is one of his rock versions, and the song is called “long Gone”

Many other things have been going on but that can be blogged another time, and next blog Jenny will most likely be doing. So we shall blog again very soon, so take care everyone.

About cumbrianvixens

Konnichiwa! Our names are Motoko and Jenny Carter, and on the 15th December 2005 we got married! We live in the chilly, wet place called Lake District, which is the wettest place in England! I lived in Japan from the age of five and only came back to England to live for good, one year after I and Jenny got married. I worked in Japan as a JASDF Pilot, and came back to England to visit Jenny. Jenny has always lived in Cumbria all her life, and has a rich Cumbrian accent, and was a member of the Territorial Army as a Medic. We both love horses and Kayaking, which are two of our greatest pastimes. We own a Beneteau First 30 sailing yacht, which we brought at the Southampton boat show on the 21st September 2011. Before that we used to own a Beneteau First 35 yacht. I and Jenny are owners of the yard the riding school, which we brought from the original owners in late 2010. We are now turning the yard into a horse trekking centre. Weather here is randomly sunny or wet, cold and damp. Never really an in-between weather pattern here! But if your kayaking and its raining you get wet anyway so weather doesn't really put us off working or doing out door things. I am pretty easy going and mostly very random, sometimes slow on the uptake as far as using English goes. On 4th of April 2011 we adopted a teenage girl called Amanda, who we had been fostering a few months before we decide we would take the next step and adopt her. I and Jenny have always been happy with the way our relationship was but there was always something we both agreed that was missing. That something of course was a daughter or son. After a few months of fostering Amanda we decided to adopt her, and we feel that our relationship is now complete and that all three of us are very happy.

  1. I just found your blog (through the “japan” tag on WordPress). You’ve touched on so many interesting issues in this one little post–adoption, long-lost blood relatives, what connects people to each other… It sounds like you lead a very interesting life–I look forward to reading more in the future!
