2 years after being widowed daughter nagged me "to DO something, you get home from work shut the curtains and do nothing" so I did. Went on a Solo's weekend. I lived in L'Spa and there was one advertised in Stratford on Avon, I talked myself out of that one as too near home if I got cold feet. So I went to one in Nottingham. So nervous but they put you at ease, at dinner he was sitting 2 away from me. I though mmm he looks ok, he asked me for a dance later and that was the start of it. He lived in Powys so it was a long distance relatiionship for 2 years until he moved to be with me and we have been together 21 years now,
