Listening to the sounds every morning like the drone of roadworks, birdsong and silence. Where before I would have heard the sound of the door shutting when he left for work or to race down into the day.
In many ways was alone a lot before he died but there was always some part of the day when his presence was there.
But this morning at long last the ginger cat was looking at me from my fence again. She may remember my old cat that died 6 month’s ago. But she didn’t jump down like before. Wish she would because I could do with the odd friendly puss to say hi again. I had my old puss for exactly two years since my husband died.
So it is the third Summer coming up now.
The third holiday to be spent partly alone.
Will it be any different? Had hoped.
How do others feel?

Hi Enorac, My second summer mostly alone. My children are good, last year my Daughter took me to La Rochelle for a few days and my son to Dartmouth. I will probably be asked to look after my son’s dogs for a week. Still I live in a nice village and there are thing going on. Just an empty house and she is not there. Still I can hop on to a train and go out for the day if the mood takes me, just wish I could be taking her with me. Yes I think I will take a day and go to the Ashmolean followed by the covered market, it’s been a while since we did that.
Go on Enorac, you plan something for a day out for yourself.
