I've just come back from a course at Denman College (the WI adult education college near Oxford) and - dare I admit this - what I really enjoyed was sleeping on my own. Knowing that I could get up and go to bed when I felt like it, sit up all night reading or writing or listening to the radio and not have to consider the needs of another person. Don't get me wrong I love my husband and like being with him but as someone said a change is as good as a rest.
Having read the above, I now imagine my friends who are widows telling me I don't know how lucky I am and what they'd give to be able to share a bedroom again. Oh dear, you can't win 'em all.
