I have a new pair of trousers that I need to shrink into for them to look good, so I too am eating frugally. <br />I enjoy seeing all the bulbs popping up but know that winter will have a sting in it's tail before long. Apart from a few sharp frosts we have had no bad weather at all. <br />How fortunate I am to have found that I actually like living alone when I had never done so before. Enjoy your lunches out and your group meetings, and visits to and from your friends and family.

My first husband died after thirty nine very happy years of marriage - I never expected to meet anyone else. The farmer and I were married for twenty three years and he was the love of my life. I still miss him every single day.<br />But what Rachel has experienced is something very different and I can't possibly understand what she has gone through this past year. I am sure you feel the same.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-91376572005094391272019-01-06T08:22:30.238-08:002019-01-06T08:22:30.238-08:00Be sure that Spring is on the way - snowdrops just...Be sure that Spring is on the way - snowdrops just coming into flower in the wood, Blue Tits investigating every little nook and cranny as a possible nest site, and the Woodpeckers are drumming on the dead trees to advertise for a mate.

I am traumatised by the man I once knew, for 34 years, who overnight 18 months ago left the house, leaving all the doors open, in the middle of the night and disappeared without warning. He is now unrecognizable, both physically (he has lost 4 stone) and his personality has changed and he is in the care of the psychiatric services.

We both start work again tomorrow, and even though I am never bored at home, I like my job and I am quite ready to get back into normal life.<br />We've had snow and ice, but it has now turned into rain - which I am glad because of O.K.'s long drive home. All my Christmas decoration has been packed away, too, all surfaces dusted, and I took advantage of the emptiness to give all real wood surfaces a good polishing with a beeswax furniture spray.<br />The bedding and towels are changed, the dishwasher is humming away in the kitchen, the shoes I wore on yesterday's slightly muddy walk are clean - and I can get back to my blog.
