My trip continues...
From Cambridge to Southampton, it looked easy on map... Although Southampton was such a huge place. I'd been to my aunt's in Southampton many times but never driven there! However, it actually was much easier than I thought. I didn't start to shake till I was out of the car outside the house :)
Sanctuary comes in many guises, my aunt, stil mourning her beloved brother, was very glad to have company and although I wasn't the brightest spark in her life, we get on really well and did each other a lot of good!
A person I had talked to a few times online was talking on the phone while I was there. We had a lot in common not just that he was a Scot living in England. We liked the same music, films and had a similar sense of humour :D
Out of the blue he said he would come down to Southampton from London the next day!! Now to be honest I didn't really believe he would. It was a long trip on a Sunday afternoon. Next day came and he set off but was delayed by traffic for hours!! Not believing he would make it, I fell asleep!! Imagine my surprise at getting a call to say he was in the city!!!
We had a lovely meeting, nearly 5 hours together, which felt like no more than 1 :)
By the time he left for the return trip, we were even firmer friends than before and a spark had been ignited!
When I returned to Scotland we were in daily contact and already arranging another meeting!
Within the month we had met again and this time, there was no doubt of how we were beginning to feel about each other. The future was looking so much more promising... Would it be possible to end a terrible year with a new start?
