Hi on here Lachlan 😊

Thank you.

My friend has just done the opposite, a lifelong Bradfordian now living in a village over t’border. I hope her and her OH love their retirement in the best Riding. 😉 All the best to you and yours too Reece. 😊

I hadn’t looked at X for almost a week, I realised I hadn’t missed it and when I did look it was mostly just bile spewing. I can’t be bothered, I’m too old for that level of unnecessary drama.

My phone picked this up, I have no idea how to use my phone camera properly! We are in an area of light and air pollution and to the naked eye there was nothing. Having never seen the Aurora Borealis before I was pretty happy with this. Your photo is amazing.

She clearly doesn’t know what a ‘ruined life’ actually is. Living with her the puppy probably did, it had a lucky escape.

Thank you, it’s a postcode lottery, I only need to move 20 miles and I’d be in a different county with different social services and a different NHS trust. I’ve even been told I should move by health professionals. It’s a sorry state of affairs.

Weird, the Met Office says pollution levels are low, must be a cover up by the powers that be. The Daily Fail is known for its quality journalism!

ND is developmental but it often leads to MH issues. I’m at desperation point due to the lack of services in our area alongside a lot of bad reactions to meds. I can’t live alone, my marriage has broken down. A decade of no care has exacerbated my problems and I need assisted living that I can’t get

Wow! Well done 👏

I can trace Catholicism in her family back to the English martyrs, one of whom (Nicholas Postgate) was arrested while baptising my ancestor. My grandparents turned their backs on it, I think there was some physical abuse involved. I do wonder what effect that had on them.

My mother was exactly the same, referred to me as ‘highly strung’ even to a teacher at open evening because I did lose control as I’d inherited my Dad’s temperament. She’d been Counter School trained by the Post Office, her mental arithmetic was astounding.

Yes that’s exactly how I feel now. My Mum had an odd quirk, she showered love on the firstborn from every generation. My brother, my daughter and granddaughter. At the time it hurt, seeing my daughter getting love I’d never felt from her. Now I do think it was something she couldn’t control.

I wish my Dad had been, he died when I was 35, but he definitely seemed to understand me better than Mum did. When I was a child he was the strict one, as I grew up we talked for hours. Mum would talk to me, rather than with me to her dying day.

Hahaha this is true! 😂

Exactly what I keep telling my husband. We might feel awful but getting up and out would definitely not make us feel worse! Have a lovely day Reece. x
