Thanks to Lois and Rosemary for missing me. I will explain a bit.
As I told some of you in Birmingham last year (and I don't come this year
) I met a man exactly a year ago. We fell in love and he moved in with me in Nov. It has been wonderful, challenging and all sorts of feelings since then. I was free as a bird when we met, having been single for over 30 years; he left a marriage that had not been working for many years and we had to cope with all the reactions from his friends and family. On my side there were mostly positive reactions.
We have been working on integrating him in my house and done a lot of work in the garden beside all the talking we do. Nearly every Monday I have friends coming over to sew and that is important, too. Status now is that I have seen most of his friends, I have met his two much elder brothers and their wives, a week ago I met his children and today his ex-wife is coming to visit us. This is huge. Happening way before I thought it possible. I'm very happy to be more a part of his life. Everything turns out to be for the good for all of us.
And to add to all this emotional stuff TQS changed the website. I absolutely hate the long answering times here, so I think more than twice before posting. But I still love you all and I read along when I have time. Last thing from me: my hair turned white. No, not because of him or TQS, but because I wanted to see, how bad it looked
. Tired of getting my hair dyed every five weeks. After a week I don't get a chock when I meet a mirror
.Hugs to you all
