Well done! I get really anxious when I have to travel anywhere. I have managed 2 cruises since I lost Rachel, both left from Southampton and I booked parking both times and a hotel for the night before. I got very stressed before one of them and ended up searching for my passport at midnight one night. It wasn’t in the drawer where it should be, I was searching for almost an hour, I finally found it, in my bag ready to go! I have no memory of putting it in there. Both cruises where as part of a group, the first set sail on my birthday (the first since losing her) it was supposed to be to celebrate her 50th birthday & our 30th wedding anniversary. Rachel passed away 4days after her birthday and before our anniversary. She’d been making jokes about it being for her birthday and setting sail on mine ever since we’d booked it. It was very hard boarding without her & on my birthday, but looking back I’m so glad I went. There were good times aswell as sad ones. I was part of a group of almost 2000 who’d mostly never met one another before, we were all fans of Steve Steinman and we had exclusive performances from him & his group in addition to the usual cruise shows. I’d been posting on the group fb page about my dilema as to whether to go or not after losing Rachel, during the cruise several group members recognised me from it. There’d been a tshirt he’d had produced which we could buy, I’m so glad I’d got one and wore it on embarkation, it was a great ice breaker allowing us to spot others in the group. I went into one bar and a lady called me over to join their table, I was a little reluctant to begin with as there was 6 of them at the table. I thought I’m not sure being on my own that I wanted to join a group of 6. However I did and it turned out they weren’t all together, she was with her friend & they’d asked the 2 couples to join them at the table.
The second cruise was a much smaller group, only about 190, who’d also not met before sailing. We’re all fans of John Scott who’s currently a presenter on Sewing Street tv channel, he’s had a very interesting career in theatre & film costume. He had lots of stories from this time, many we’re not allowed to repeat! It was his first ever cruise & he was a little worried about it. What would it be like & would we all get on together, he throughly enjoyed it and we were all chatting together in minutes, as if we’d known each other for years! He’s doing another this year in October which I’ve booked for but I’m already getting anxious about it, it’s a fly cruise this time. I’ve not flown for a holiday for over 20years or since I’ve needed mobility aids, I need to take my mobility scooter with me. I’m actually thinking of cancelling and not going because of this. It’s over 6months away and I’m getting stressed about it how am I going to manage on my own with my luggage whilst on my scooter? The travel agent said it’s not a problem but didn’t explain what the procedure was or what I’ll need to do.
Hope you have a wonderful time with your family, whilst you’re over their, you should certainly feel proud for getting there.

I’ve been sitting in the garden listening to the birds, only a few tears.
Today’s the day our house goes on Rightmove, must admit it’s frightening.
At least it’s not raining. Have as good a day as you can everyone x

My husband died out of the blue of cardia failure 4 weeks ago. I couldn’t say goodbye at all. That hurts terribly . It also has meant a huge amount of paperwork and bureaucracy that is really hard to navigate!

Thank you so much you sound exactly just like myself I am just really really struggling and miss my beautiful wife every min of every day I constantly cry still I can’t accept what happened to her but ppl say that was her path but to go in the cruel way at our happiest place 1 day before our wedding anniversary is cruel I was robbed ppl say it she would have been at no pain as it happened so fast but my wifes passing ppl say it would have been magical because we got married there and we went back every year apart this time we stayed in the hotel on the grounds where we got married and this is where she passed I just cant see it that way and I am angry that God took my wife from me in a cruel way I suffer every day I love and still fancy her now and miss her so so much I am so alone in our forever home which was once happy but now it is just full off sadness just like me I do try my best everyday but it’s an everlasting battle for me please take care

Morning All.
A tad dull here in Nefyn but I’m going to have a drive out to Criccieth and have a walk around n maybe a wander on the beach.
I’ve never been there before so let’s see what the place looks like.
@Sherbet10. How did the batch cooking go and what did you make.
@58tigger. Tomorrow I’m going to your neck of the woods, Porthmadog. I do like a wander round there.
Last time me n John found a tiny coffee house with every available space covered with ornaments and we had the best laugh ever.
I think the mum of the owner was ‘helping’ out and came to our table to clear it but we were both showered and I mean showered in flash spray. Then she tried to clear our cups etc before we’d finished all the time walking round with the darn flash spray.
Very entertaining..
Let’s hope we all have as good a day as possible..

I hope you enjoy your day , even if the weather not brilliant. It’s pretty much the same here . I was busy in the kitchen yesterday. I make sausage casserole, chicken chasseur and spaghetti bolognaise. It should keep me going for a while. And cheaper than buying ready meals .

I will try. Wow that’s alot of cooking, that’s great. I like to have precooked meals ready to go. Lucky for me my son usually batch cooks and sends some to me to freeze. At the moment I’m not eating that much, but do try as much as I can. I hope you have a good day. X
