Following my divorce...
I took an apartment [private-sector] in Bishopsworth, Bristol
[£450 per month +service-expenses and tax]
I lived there for approximately 18 months
Miggles, had brought me here to GE
and there... my days were 'pretty-much' as I have, now [I am a PC]
I wasn't looking-for 'companionship' [didn't enter my head at-all]
I was still a member of another forums, and a member there
had, a friend who was struggling with her PC [Mary]
Well, this forum member, introduced us
and I spent over a week of contact, chatting Mary through various steps
this included an exchange of telephone numbers [landlines]
and many hours were spent with me directing her to folders
and enquiring as to what she could see there
That the computer, had serious problems... became clear
SOMETHING HAPPENED...
I didnt expect to see her again online
let alone, look-forward to hearing her northwest accent, again, and again
it fair 'cracked-me-up' to hear someone verbalising in a manner
that I have described as; sounding-like
the english-language has been beaten-up, with a sledge-hammer
Mary herself, says, that "sometimes I talk 'around my hat' "
My daughter Miranda, phoned me [here] and Mary answered
and Miranda 'heard' exactly that which I had found seriously amusing
"Dad, she talks FUNNY, it makes me laugh"
Well, as it happened, Mary FELL
for this polite and very helpful gentleman and I was so-taken
by this lady's appreciation /character / humour
and also, this 'version' of 'english' she used...
that we became good online friends
Over time, I learned that she had divorced 14 years previously
whilst I had divorced 3 years previously
That she had had four boys and a girl
AND one son called 'David'
and gradually, we learned that we had, a great many things in common
and 'our-differences' also, have usefulness in a relationship
What HAPPENED ? .....Suddenly there we are,
arranging and making visits to each other, 'bumping elbows' I 'called-it'
and then I have made the trip [182 miles, Northward]
It wasn't an impulsive move...
The costs of MOVING wasn't 'cheap'
I travelled with a confidence, that is akin to 'faith'
[iow: without doubt or reservation]
In July, I will have been here for two-years [what is that saying ?]
'the course of true-love, never runs smooth' [?]
But there we have-it...
When you have ALL that you need... you will still fall-short of happiness
if, that, is all you are concerned about
BUT, when, you are able to make someone feel [as-if]
they have just unwrapped you [as a present] the world spins-on
analogy: 'your kids faces [hearts] when, they unwrap xmas prezzies from you'
My reason for travelling
Have YOU ever thought of moving to a different part of the country where you 're living?
