Was thinking about you today and now you pop up.  Is there still a wedding the planning? 

Hello and kind of ypu to think of me 🙂

There is...the original venue for food is on the market so we're having to pivot. Happily the pivot has taken in a church ceremony which was not in the original plan but makes me very happy.

Taking car in tomorrow to find out why it's doing tractor impressions.
Should be fun!

Alchemilla

I'm so sad. The tractor noise was an engine bearing which for this car is terminal.

This sounds so stupid but this car was my security when DH died.

I could take the kids out and about and know we were safe and I didn't have to  think.

So much fun with DD1 playing her tunes and us all chatting.

I have replaced it with a beater as what I can afford. I felt like that car was part of me.

I understand the sadness, it is a link with DH that is gone, another bit of grieving.   Hugs

Thanks Watty. I think I've done the grieving all wrong. I distracted myself for nearly three years and now I am running out of distractions

Plus side though, looking at beaters yesterday and pitched up at a horse yard and met a mini shetland who gave me a nose high five! Same size as Babydog.

I don't think there is a right way to do grieving but it is funny the things that set off that overwhelming wave of grief.  Much sympathy from me.

Thanks @redofromstart xxx
