I have just spent an absolutely wonderful time with my friend in beautiful Scotland – enjoying long – lazy days – with nothing to think about – and no responsibilities. We walked – ate – drank – and of course talked – allowing ourselves to simply live in the moment. On returning home – I…
‘Reminiscing’
I have to say that this week – while staying with my friend – we have done quite a lot of reminiscing – with both memories of the times we spent together years ago – those – “little episodes – that we shared together” – and also sharing our different upbringings – and the various…
‘Dealing With Disappointment’
I was so excited earlier this week – as I set off on my journey – to visit my dear friend in Scotland. Not only was I looking forward to spending time with her – but was looking forward to the journey too. I was – as I have done before – travelling by train…
