    How oop north is that? Eden Camp near Malton is pretty good (WWII era), but wrap up warmly because when the wind blows it's bitter...

    YOu trying to get rid?

    Actually Buffy I was just thinking about your Mum's never ending quest to get you to have dinner. Do you sit and eat together? Do you have other time together? I was just thinking that if it was the only time she felt sure you would actually sit down together that might be why she's so keen on it? Tell me to butt out if I'm out of line. It was just a thought. If that is the case maybe you could set aside a couple mornings each week to spend time with her either gardening or window shopping or something and then she wouldn't push for dinner so much because she would know she's getting to spend time with you.


    Sorry - I may be way out of line there:o

    Of course you aren't out of line Luc xx

    Basically she (and me to some extent) is trying to keep to the routine she has always known, dinner every night, roast on sundays. It must not change cos then she starts to feel useless and has nothing to do. I spend pretty much most nights with her, but that is tv watching and you don't talk during the programmes. it doesn't matter what time i spend with her she only notices the things I miss. And she is never horrible about it just sad which leads to me feeling guilty. And she probably isn't even sad about that, she misses my Dad.

    Its an impossible situation to be honest, I can't replace my Dad obviously, but she is much much better then she was (as I am!) she goes out with our neighbour and is cooking new stuff. She has semi planned a trip to visit my sister.

    Hopefully with my plans for the holidays things should improve, in terms of me not worrying so much and being hyper organised so I can spend time with her without worrying about work.

    phew. now I ve got that off my chest!

    back to farming!! xxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.
