Why were Christopher and his family apart?

Dear Readers,

I´m writing this post just in case some of you( after reading my last story)were wondering why Christopher moved to Sweeet Berry Valley on his own.
I´m afraid it´s just the story,no pictures this time.
Well, just one. Here you can see Jane Appleblossom with her two new friends Daisy Buttercup and Kate Periwinkle. They´re having a chat over a cup of coffee at The Blackurrant Café. Daisy was looking forward to know more about her new friend´s life so Jane is telling them the reason why she and her children didn´t move to Sweet Berry Valley when  Cristopher did.


  
I wrote this story for you just in case you´re also a bit nosey :)


Christopher and his family lived in a small village not far from Sweet Berry Valley. Jane´s parents had a small grocery store and Christopher used to bake and sell bread there but his dream was to have his own bakery. One fine day, he saw an ad in the local newspaper: “Water mill bakery for sale in Sweet Berry Valley”. Christopher couldn´t believe it. A bakery for sale in a nearby village. He told Jane about it and both agreed to move to Sweet Berry and start a new life there. Having their business and their own home ( they used to live at Jane´s parents) was something they were looking forward to  for a long time and now they had the chance to do it. Unfortunately, just a few days before their departure,  Jane´s father got seriously ill. The village doctor couldn´t find the right medicine to ease his ailments.  Jane couldn´t leave her parents  in that situation. Her father needed to be looked after and someone had to be in charge of the shop. Christopher decided to stay too , but Jane and even his in- laws encouraged him to leave “You have to follow your dreams ,son” his father in- law said from his bed. “Life is too short and you have to do what you think is right for you” he said in a whisper. It was a tough decision but finally Christopher decided to give it a go and moved on his own. Leaving his family behind  was very sad and starting a new life away from his family wasn´t what he had expected. Fortunately , the inhabitants of Sweet Berry Valley were very welcoming and a few weeks after his arrival he felt much better. He used to visit his family every weekend. He loved to spend time with his wife and children but he felt really sad for his father in- law. He didn´t seem to get any better.
One day, Doctor Murdoch went to buy bread at the bakery. Christopher was a reserved man who didn´t talk much about his private life but this time he had the feeling Doctor Murdoch could do something for him . He had had a very good reputation as a doctor in Sylvanian  and he could  have the solution to his  father in-law illness,  so he told him about the hard time he was going through. Doctor Murdoch offered to visit Christopher´s father in-law. The weekend Christopher arrived with Doctor Murdoch things starting to improve. Doctor Murdoch gave him some medicine and a special diet. Doctor Murdoch assured he was going to get well even though the recovery was going to take a few months. He was right. After a few months he was able to walk and the pains were gone, and after a year he was a new man. Despite his age, he felt healthy and strong again so he encouraged her daughter to reunite with Christopher .
And that´s what happened. The day they agreed to move to Sweet Berry Valley Christopher got up earlier than ever  and took  the first bus in the morning to look for his family. He was so excited about it that he totally forgot to leave a note to let his customers know he was going to be absent for the day. He helped his wife to pack all their belongings . As they didn´t live far away, they promised to visit Jane´s parents very often . Christopher and Jane were delighted to be reunited again. A new life in Sweet Berry Valley was waiting for them. From the very first day they spent together  in their new village, they knew they were going to be very happy there. And they are indeed!

And that´s why Jane didn´t follow Christopher when he setteled down in Sweet Berry Valley. Daisy is glad to know all about it. Hope you like to know about it too.

I promise next post will include pictures!
Thanks for reading!

Lots of love

  3. Hello Cutata,

    I am VERY glad to know about this, because finally everything makes perfect sense! :D

    So happy to hear that Jane's father got well again and that, while the Appleblossoms were living apart, Christopher was able to visit his wife and children on the weekends.

    Now reunited, I wish them a wonderful stay in Sweet Berry Valley and many great new friends for Jane and the kids. :))

    Have a nice weekend,
    Nina
