It'll be the same feeling for you Ditty when you write your dad's card, or have to walk past shops selling Mother's Day cards. It's rotten

Awwww

Nope, not yet. We have told her to keep the date free. Not that she lives in a social whirl, but it would be just our luck if she went on a British Legion outing on that day!!

 

i can't wait ... we shall go and see the Christmas lights, and meet up with all our young people, who live in London, for lunch

And Ditts, the 'big' days after a parent's death are horrid. We actually had a nice Christmas after my Dad died. It was so strange without him, and it didn't help that my Mum insisted on doing Christmas as usual. She put the turkey on the table, and I swear to Gawd it would still be there now if my sister in law hadn't jumped in and done the carving!!

 

I coped fine with his birthday and with Father's Day but my birthday, almost a year after his death had me in bits all day.

 

it's almost 12 years now. His illness and suffering, and the first year after his death are now just a memory. Now, when I think of him I smile

 

Hang on in there

Ohhhh, hope you have a lovely time.

 

I have a friend who has just got back from there and she absolutely loved it. Another friend's daughter went there yesterday for 6 weeks. Yet another friend is going in February and a woman I work with went there on holiday two years ago and loved it so much that she bought a house there and goes there for three months every year!

 

so ... The reviews are good!!

Thanks Rexi, yes I`ve only heard great things about NZ. My boy and his girlfriend absolutely love it!  They`re going to settle there.
