One aspect I’ve never mentioned is anniversaries. How can I get through these days. We’d spent 50 years celebrating them, happy times. I decided they deserved continuing to be celebrated, not feared. So I decided that to celebrate our wedding anniversary, I began devising new, difficult, challenges I’d never got around to doing.
I decided to play her a song on our favourite beach, on a flute. So I bought a flute, had lessons and did just that. In truth it was pretty horrible, (it’s a very difficult instrument to play )but great.
I climbed a huge hill in the Peak District, for a date with her.
I went potholing!
I went abseiling.
I remember each day with pride and a smile.
The only problem is I’m running out of challenges.
