Hi Saffie,
Thanks for checking in on me. I'm sorry we weren't able to connect when I was in your vicinity in April. I did try telephoning you just to say hello and to thank you in person. (Both of my mobiles don't indicate my name on the display so your phone probably blocked them.)

The camping/cycling weekend went very well. I found that I wasn't at all lonely and realized that as long as I have animals in my life I will be in a better place. (I'm not sure horses will be in my future though.)

Last weekend I did something which is not usually done in this country. I travelled to a wedding using only public transportation. Part of the fun was to locate a B&B which was on a bus route and between the wedding and the reception. I even arrived at the wedding by bus although I did accept a ride to and from the reception.

For anyone who has been following my story, H has been intrigued about my whereabouts the past two weekends. However, unfortunately he is standing firm about not taking the last two trips with me. He did offer to pay for his portion so that I could take both of them. I don't feel that I should accept his largesse and, although I have been looking for someone with whom to share my accommodations I'll probably have to let that one go.
The deadline is in a few days and I'm just trying to observe the situation with a certain interested detachment.
