I should also apologise if this upsets people who are just not in the same place as me right now.
I know what you mean. I just feel like I have finally found my place. At risk of sounding like soppy sod rather than the usual silly one; it isn't necessarily the USA but with my USC wife and step daughter and happens to be in the USA. At 37 years old I had drifted happily from girl to girl, flat to flat, club to club and so on. Always vaguely aware that - there has to be more to life than this - type of thing. And then I met this mad american girl who crossed the world twice for me and never let me down. She still hasn't and is still true to our vows - in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, whether nobhead or not ha ha. How often does life throw something that bloody fantastic into your path without you even looking for it? I may be a lucky sod, and certainly a silly sod.....but I aint daft!!! in innit

HM pops in now and then to give us updates, and I so love to see her around. We all lived her saga those years ago, and it is great to see people settled in
