Travelling alone.

The Time machine app on my iPad brings back wonderful memories every day...photographs, blog entries, news items all build a picture of a life lived mostly in joy.
Today’s collection are almost all of Madeira! Not the drink, the place .
David and I bought time share in one of the grand hotels..
There are wonderful pictures of the pools, the ocean lapping on the shore and us, me and David in tropical gear relaxed and very happy.
I’m not going this year.
I have done one year visiting on my own.
I didn’t like it much.
On a cruise there are always people to talk to. I have never lacked company when I needed it but in a hotel full of happy couples I felt exposed and alone.
I have offered the holiday to David's sons but they don’t want to go either so this year it won’t be used.
The only way to get there for a two week stay is to fly...although I have visited twice by cruise ship. The last time I went in an aeroplane the long queues with people standing in line was the worst part of the journey...
So not this year....
I shall enjoy it every morning via the Time hop app....David looking relaxed and happy, me swimming every day in the various pools.
Good memories recalling wonderful times...gone but definitely not forgotten.
Thank you God.
