[QUOTE=DDL;8760493] Awww, ED, that was so lovely. Thank you! If we get up to your neck of the woods, it would be lovely to have a cuppa together! Take care! [/QUOTE



Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I will warm the pot, enjoy the start of your journey, eat lots, have one drink for each of us and dream wonderful dreams I am tearing up as I feel like I am wishing a very dear friend good bye on a long journey. Take care.

DDL - Hope I am not too late to wish you a wonderful journey. Bon Voyage and have an awesome trip

Looks like I will be the next one home, I leave on Tuesday for bonnie Scotlland, can't wait

Been so busy getting things arranged, haven't been able to keep up with this thread, so if anyone else has headed home or is heading home soon, all of my best to you all

Marmalade, bon voyage and good luck!

Charleygirl, sending good vibes as you break the news.

Trottytrue, hang in there, we are watching others' dreams come true (tho the realization of them may be difficult), and so we see it can happen!

Our house has (almost, waiting for buyer's final mortgage committment) sold despite the dire market--it can happen!

Hoping your hubby's health holds up and all plans come to fruition....

Marmalade, wow! I must have missed posts because I thought you were just thinking about it. I didn't know you were actually on your way - you definitely don't mess around once you make up your mind!

Good luck with everything and don't forget to give us regular updates!

Charleygirl, I will be thinking of you today.

Good luck Charleygirl,
And good vibes from a lot of people on here are going your way, your family should understand if they know whats in your heart, and they know you will only be gone for a couple of months,
Just enjoy your time in the UK, you deserve the break, time to re-think your life, you only have one you know, and you deserve to be happy, we all do,
Take care,
Rodney.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes, I dont know if any of you are Soul fans but I listened to Diana Ross on you tube singing Its My Turn and it gave me strength, there was a "Oh okay thats cool" from my twin daughters 18 next Saturday, sure when it sinks in it will be much more than that....... Husband well looked shocked ( er wheres your head been for 13 years) and just a "well you could have asked me first" that says a lot, but I am sure much more will come from him.........son was oh good mum you need to be with your mum.
So the vibes worked, I was expecting a lot of flack...

Thank you everyone......
