Dreich morning in Liverpool!

hello darling


Missing you a lot right now, we always loved September 1st the beginning of our month our season, but now I feel sad the joy has gone out of birthdays anniversaries and even Christmas.Life is just so lonely without you, lonely even when I am with folk, you are always missing .

I miss Andrew and Lucy, just them being along the road, somehow it is comforting knowing they are there even if I don't see them. They are having a great holiday and I am  glad for them they work so hard and this is well deserved.

Philip is settling back into life in Beijing, still struggling financially , hope that changes at some point, I worry about it and that ends up costing me money I can't really afford.

I will be talking to Penny and Johnny this weekend, inshallah. Johnny and Ellie's wedding anniversary tomorrow, I have sent them a card and Archies birthday gift, and Blackpool rock too.

I sent Penny's children Blackpool rock and it arrived on the day they went back to school,so it was a nice treat for them when they got home.


I was not going to Listen to September Morn, decided not to torture myself, then Wendy Collins, suggested we listen together on September 2nd, I said yes, at noon, so we did and thought about you ,

It was nice knowing she was listening too.


I will be sending out dates of Artist's Way courses today, starting in October , eight weeks before Christmas possibly two nights a week.....I enjoy the groups , great woman, and the money will help replenish the coffers.

I will contact the Scottish dancing group again soon, I think that will be good for me , hoping for some fun and renewing an old interest too.

I have three more little short story/memories to write for the children ( grand) about you.


I had a big shopping delivered yesterday, I have new shelves in the kitchen which look nice, I put the wine on the shelves, but did not like it there,so I went into John Lewis and bought a wine rack, which look nice, and a picnic basket to keep the crisps nuts and chocolate in. All change here darling, I wonder if you would recognise the place if you arrived back, which I wish you would.

I was supposed to be meeting Tony for a drink tonight but he is just back from a walking holiday with Nick,and he is shattered, so we will meet tonight. I might go to the cinema as it s a wet grey day.


I wonder if you are somewhere in the universe having your adventure , I wish I was with you,

Much love always darling John ....TT xx
