Widowed 3 years ago, still figuring out life on my own. I love languages, travel, medieval history and a bit of indie rock. Likely to post lots of photos of my best friend, the lovely Lady Skye.
When she first came to live here Skye was anything but easy going - I've never known such a neurotic cat. She had chilled out a lot in 5 years but she still has her moments 😂

Yep, I had plenty of those too: nearly blank profiles and generic, one-lines messages... 🙄

To be fair, when I was online dating I tried to reply to every guy who made an effort... but the vast majority of guys who messaged me clearly hadn't even bothered to read my profile, so why should I be bothered to reply? 🤔

Definitely worth a visit but it was very busy. It was better when you got away from the main sights - you could really appreciate it from the other side of the river.

I had a cat snuggled on my knee earlier but she's curled up next to me now. I've just got back from Florence so life's pretty good 😊🇮🇹

Exactly! It's the most logical conclusion. But, as you say, we'll probably never know for certain.

I didn't even know this was a thing. Thanks for sharing and raising awareness. I was 51 when Martin died.

I guess we will never know how the chain came to be in her possession, but it's certainly interesting!

I had a difficult summer and fell out of love with this place because of the number of Brad Pitts I got following me 😂 It seems to have improved a bit now though 🙏 How are you?
