A strange coincidence

As I was getting my uniform washed and ironed ready to start back at college, on my massage course.

My son pointed something out to me.

 The Four main jobs I have had during my life all involve wearing a uniform….

1) WRAF

2) Waitress

3) Tesco

4) Masseur ( well hopefully ) 

Now I wonderpaddy 007 what this says about me…17inuniform

Once a friend always a friend…

Tonight I finally made contact with some mislaid friends.

I lost touch with them when I had to move away from RAF Marham

As a married couple they were probably the only good friends we had.we went walking together and he went running with my late husband. In fact they did the only ever Edinburgh marathon together in 1999.paddy 005

I thought about them often and wanted desperately to go and see them when my late husband died but the time was never right and it would have been too emotional.

When my boys finally received  some of there fathers belongings mixed in with it all ,was this medal for the Edinburgh marathon. 

 I found an old e-mail address for them yesterday and mailed but expected nothing in return as the address was so old, then tonight out the blue I received an e-mail back with a phone number.

This time I did not hesitate and rang them straight away.

It was wonderful to talk to them and I have now shed a few tears but not in sorrow this time…….

Things to do…

As well as getting ready to make the Christmas cake… which I am going to make in a tree shaped tin.paddy 003

I am also hoping to find the time to make some marmalade.

Most of you will know how much I enjoyed making my Jam, although I did get into a mess as my pan was not really big enough.
