Sarah( our daughter) and Emily and Ruby (our granddaughters) came over for the day it being half term.It was lovely to have them here as we usually go to them.They arrived quite early as they are only forty minutes away.We had suggested bringing walking boots or wellies so we could have a little walk.After Ruby had told us all about her PGL weekend with Guides we headed to Loggerheads.This an AONB area only ten minutes from our house.We had a lovely walk by the river among the trees.The colours were wonderful.The girls went clambering up rock faces ( even at 13 ) and it was great.We then went out to lunch at one of our favourite pubs and then back home for the afternoon.They love playing games so we had a fun afternoon doing that.They went about 5pm but we were due out with friends for a meal at 7pm.Originally there were 11 of us ( 5 couples and a widower) who ate out at least once a month.However in August two of the couples moved south to be nearer their children.This means there are only seven of us and one of the couples are really showing their age.The husband is very forgetful.I don't like change andI have found it very hard our closest friends have moved away and our happy group is changing.
Do you find change hard or do you welcome the challenge?
My family will tell you that I don't like change at all - hate redecorating, rearranging furniture, even kitchen utensils like trusty potato mashers are loved and very old. Don't know about you but I've found some friends seem to be drifting away as family demands increase and families grow I have to sometimes push myself to make arrangements to keep up the contact that can so easily slip away as the dys go by.
ReplyDeleteI don’t like change, I don’t think most people do, especially if it means not seeing close friends as much xx
