A FOGGY EVENING
Was woken up by the postman ringing the doorbell. Unpacked my parcels, had breakfast,watched Corrie from last night --- and went back to bed for a couple of hours.
This afternoon I dithered about whether to go out or not and finally at 3pm I decided to make the effort. Walked down to the village and got the bus to Blaydon. Did a bit of shopping in B & M and Home Bargains and then Morrisons. Took my blip shot as I left Morrisons. The fog was closing in and it was freezing cold.
3rd December is significant to me for two reasons. On 3rd December 1979 I moved out from my parents house for the first time to set up home with my future husband Douglas. We moved into a small flat in Benwell above a hairdressers shop. I was to spend my first Christmas away from home. Big changes ahead.
Also on 3rd December 1979 my penfriend Iris in Malta gave birth to her first child - a girl - and she named her Dorothy - after me. Dorothy actually lives in the UK now - in Southend - and we are in contact via Facebook and we write to each other now and again. And Iris and I still write to each other too.
