Brae. A gay woman's tale!

On my way back from Hawick today I was stuck in a traffic jam… turns out it was because of a horse drawn gypsy caravan! Took ages to get past because of the winding roads, but it was rather lovely to see!

I didn’t get a chance to take a photo since I was driving… but thought I would google it… turns out it a holiday caravan you can hire!!

Not that I fancy being in charge of a horse… I can’t even control Sprout!

My new hobby…. started with a rainbow rug for Sprout… had to watch 5 year old on YouTube to learn how to do it LOL

I’ve been up and away since early this morning… lovely drive around The Jedburgh countryside and then up to Hawick for shopping.

Somewhere along my route I’ve lost my water cap… no surprise really… I’ve had problems with it from the start!

It was rather hot, too hot for Sprout… so I’ve come back to the site. Attempted to get the millions of dead flies off Alice Alice with my new squeegee mop but only partly successful… but at last I can see out of the windscreen again!

But the highlight was when I went for a quick pee in Alice Alice… I didn’t close the door and Sprout followed me in… she tried to jump on my lap… and managed to hit the shower tap… I don’t know who got the biggest fright when we got a soaking!

Alice Alice has turned out to be a bigger benefit in my life than I hoped for.

This little holiday has put me firmly back into the life I loved ( even if I did throw a wee wobbly yesterday when everything conspired against me).

It has been a journey of rediscovery, in more ways than one and a realisation that all the hurt of recent months was perhaps for the best.

No matter how much you love someone, it has to be love on an equal basis… and two people who are meant to be together will always manage to find a way.

For me, right now, I know a relationship and commitment are far from my mind. I will take my fun when I find it.

I am really not sure if I will trust again… I was badly fooled this time around, not by lies I was told… but by what was omitted… and I now have no faith in my own judgement.

Saying that, it would be nice to meet someone who is honest and who is happy with their life, who doesn’t have to feel “needed” but appreciates the importance of being wanted and the peace that brings.

I know I can’t be the only one feeling like this… so perhaps on my future journeys we will bump into each other and my faith in womankind will be restored!
