SUPPORT for all living with the pain of estrangement

Thanks hugshelp you're a star x

Speaking if Stars'

Still no Starlady huh? Am I the only one missing her?

No, I miss her too. Posters come and go but you do wonder during the current crisis if someone who hasn't been on for a while is OK.

Fingers crossed she's fine.

I'm getting so excited as we're off to our lodge tomorrow for a weeks holiday.

Not the best forecast for the week ahead but nothing will dampen my excitement or enjoyment when we're there.

I hope you have a wonderful time!

Ooh have a nice time Smileless

I am beginning to feel that out planned UK break might actually happen at the end of July...just starting to allow myself a bit of looking forward to it!

Thanks PF and Madgran. That would be lovely Madgran, have you got something booked?

Yes booked back in February, thought it wouldnt happen though. Nice self catering converted quay side building, balcony overlooking the sea! ?

Oooh sounds fabulous

Have a lovely time smiles

Getting ready to be on our way. Mr. S. has just taken my cat to his holiday destination.

Internet can be a bit hit and miss but I'll be here, signal strength permitting.

Have a wonderful time Smileless; the freedom of the open road awaits you!

Morning ladies, hope you are all doing OK.

It's great to be back at our lodge, so much so that we've decided to stay for 2 weeks instead of the 1 originally planned.

No internet since we arrived as the connection is sooo bad so unable to cope without it, Mr. S. has purchased a Dongle. It's brilliant all be it rather expensive but at least we have guaranteed access and unlimited usage. The on site provider limits the amount you can use it which means streaming and contacting DS in Aus. weren't possible.

I find it annoying if we can't get the internet but poor Mr. S. just can't cope without it. He's his usual happy self now he's back on line

Just got back from the beach with our dogs. I love to see them running around; I'm sure they were smiling.

So glad you're both (dogs too!) enjoying your time there!
Sometimes only something bigger than ourselves, like the sea for example can relax us.

That's very true Namsnanny. Every evening since we've been here and every morning, a rabbit pops out from a row of bushes behind our lodge; so cute.

The sun sets of our lodge. Fabulous.

oops that should be 'the sunset from our lodge

Here’s another one.

Poo Smileless that's a beautiful place you've got! Lucky you having a lovely secluded bolt hole!

NoooNoooo! I typed "ooo Smileless" but damned autocorrect thought it knew better!

Yeah I believe you Chewbacca that you didn't mean to post "poo".

It's so lovely here and you're right we are lucky. We'd never have bought here or moved to our lovely home at the coast if we hadn't been estranged. Every cloud .............

Just getting into the groove with some fab 80's music on spotify (Mr. S. is DJ) and a brandy hmmm.

Honest! I really didn't mean poo!
I think I need to come and investigate your lodge; just to make sure that's it's safe and all that.... Only from an elf and safety aspect, of course!

Beautiful, I'd give almost anything, for a holiday right now.
