I began another blog a couple of weeks ago and I reckon it's ready now for visitors so I thought I'd have a little ad for it here.
Called Rosehip or Prune?, it is a place to share experiences about being middle-aged and unwillingly sinlge, whether through death or divorce.
Widowed at 47, it's now getting on for three years since the Golfer died and I am still not as 'back to normal' as I would have liked to be. This, no doubt, is a reflection as much of my preconceptions of what widowhood was (grieve like mad for six months, begin to get better for the next six, then get back out there and get on with your life) as of any deficiencies in me, but still, widowhood is not at all what I thought is was going to be, and I thought it might be useful to tell other people what it's like and, especially, to hear from other people in the same boat.
I believe that divorce can be as traumatic and certainly as life-changing as bereavement so I'd love to hear from the divorced and crinkly too.
So come on over and visit at Rosehip or Prune? - look forward to seeing you!

The flowers in this picture are beautiful! I looked your other blog, too. It looks very nice and I hope it is helpful to some. Being alone and avoiding loneliness is probably the hardest thing to do, and when dealing with losing a loved one, no matter what the circumstances, it is even more so.
Thanks sandpiper!
Even better, the daffodils come from my own garden. I can't get enough of them - they are such an exclamation that Spring has arrived.
I'm hoping that Rosehip or Prune will not be too downbeat - I want to get plenty of humour in there as well. Life's a lot easier if you get a giggle every day!
