After feeling despondent with my turn of events in recent times,and just wanting to be rid of my deep sadness and anxieties which have dogged me for years,and seeing no way out seemed such a mountain to climb.
However,yesterday friends asked me to visit them for the day,and with trepidation i drove 140 miles to their home in Devon,and having not driven so far for such a long time i was filled with dread,and of course as is my want i fear the worst,''will my car break down on the motorway,will the car need oil or water ''because frankly whats under the bonnet i hav'nt a clue.
I set the satnav,but never really sure if i've set it correctly,( no i dont trust anything)together with a friend and my 2 wee dogs,Yonnie and Diva, we set off on the journey down the motorway which was absolutely fine until we came off at junction 27 which took us over hills and down dales,and finally down long isolated country lanes where if traffic approached it would be tricky getting by,and then the nice satnav voice said,in 100 yards you have reached your destination,and sure enough we were by this delightful idylic country cottage with its huge inviting garden.Our friends came out giving us a wonderful welcome and my little dogs were in their element,scampering around and exploring new places to pee.
After doing a tour of the property and gardens we had coffee outside in the glorious weather,and then a marvellous lunch of roast beef,it was wonderful.
After a wonderful day we headed home with no mishaps at all despite the heavy traffic. My David would have been proud of me,bearing in mind he was always the driver,which just goes to prove that anything is possible given the determination and will to succeed .
