Hi Jackie,

How are you doing? Is being home all you thought it would be? Are you planning to get your own place? My husband has just gone to his daughter's to tell her about the impending divorce. I love her and my two darling step grandchildren. It is all so sad. I almost feel like changing my mind. Life is tough.

Yes, it is tough. I feel for you - change is hard, and a divorce is harder too.

So sorry that it has actually come to this, Celtic. Is there no hope to save the marriage? Can you go to UK for a few months for a breather to see how you feel, try to figure out where you want to be?

Also for lovers of The Catherine Tate Show I watched "Nan's Christmas Carol" made in 2009, LOTS of swearing but oh I do love Nan.
I know this is an old post but I am dying to know what Expat Shield is?

ExPat Shield is software that allows you to watch British shows on your computer. Google it and you'll find it I'm sure.

For the Doc Martin fans among us, here are some great photos from "Port Wenn" (actually Port Isaac) today:
