I have not written on my blog for some time but wanted to take a moment to think back over the Summer Holidays that are now just coming to an end.
It has been a time of very mixed emotions for me some of which I may return to at another time but it has also been a time of new beginnings and also a time to return to the past.
It has been a time in which I have had my first holiday with my new partner,
We have spent most of our time together staying with her friends and family and how grateful I am for the genuine welcome that has been extended to me and what a contrast that made with what I had experienced with my ex - wife.
We visited together the village where my Mother had been evacuated too and I was able to also visit my Nanna's old house and walk along the pebble beach that I played on with her when I was a child. I loved to visit her so much and she made the time we spent together full and happy. So much has changed since then but the sound of the waves dragging the pebbles back and forth regular and persistant as a pendulum carries on unchanged.
How strange to walk where my Mother once did when she was the age that my son is now and to try an imagine how she must have felt when her whole life was in front of her. And now at the end of her life she has to support me when I should be supporting her.
Well I have so got out of the habit of writing, incredible to think that there was a time when I felt that there was so much to say. I will try and write more but some will have to be for friends only as it is too personal to appear for all to read.
All the Best to you,
