I used to love cross country and dressage but as both require a lot of constant 'leg on' pressure from the knees I can't do it anymore. My riding hat tho still sits on the shelf with my riding gloves inside, waiting for the day when I can bear to get shot of that love of my life. Sad, isn't it to have to accept that some things are lost and gone forever :O(Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243498106528638696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-39973402735899510742010-08-11T00:16:32.096+01:002010-08-11T00:16:32.096+01:00I'm sure you will find that "buzz" a...I'm sure you will find that "buzz" again Ilona.

It was a one off. I have only seen Micky once today, and he didn't come in because I was around. I think he will be sneaking in when I am not here though.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-36528418228992080552010-08-10T19:58:32.796+01:002010-08-10T19:58:32.796+01:00yes! decorate it and wear it when you go to jumble...yes! decorate it and wear it when you go to jumble sales LOL Head down and charge :DKathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-35321036783250730212010-08-10T19:57:23.091+01:002010-08-10T19:57:23.091+01:00I know how you feel.

Not doing the dancing anymore is hard to accept for me, too. I can`t just get rid of them, there are too many good memories connected to them. I guess, eventually I shall have to sell them, as I don`t even fit into them anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-60115161305820774092010-08-10T16:32:09.793+01:002010-08-10T16:32:09.793+01:00Hello, I've been lurking for a little while. ...Hello, I've been lurking for a little while. I'm the same age as you and find your blog really interesting.<br />But could I just ask one thing - that you don't put food out for the neighbours cat. When a cat moves home he has to find his new territory and he is making his territory at your house if you are feeding him. I'm sure the little girls who own the cat would like him to be at his proper home and the only way for that to happen is for the cat to be fed there.<br />I realise you are being kind hearted but now you know he isn't a stray and he will be fed at his own home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-60771341271374961082010-08-10T15:50:21.076+01:002010-08-10T15:50:21.076+01:00Ilona I understand your point, but this feeling wi...Ilona I understand your point, but this feeling will quickly pass. I read your blog everyday and you seem to have more adventures then anyone I know!! I love driving too, and did consider HGV at one point but not sure my other half would let me be away for that lenght of time. The grass is always greener on the other side. You've had that life, now you have this one and from what I've read on here it seems to be a good one. But if you really do wanna go back I'm sure this new Government would be happy for you tho what with the deficit and all haha :-)Day141https://www.blogger.com/profile/08977906936804850238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-25843493827791039292010-08-10T15:40:11.716+01:002010-08-10T15:40:11.716+01:00You are right to try and focus on the future and w...You are right to try and focus on the future and what is good about your life at the moment ... I am often prone to reminiscing about times gone by and I forget that actually I am living in a really good time right now. And since we are all living so much longer these days... you could have 30 years of productive living yet!!!Jane Le Galloudechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517114561049964427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-75472009838438345142010-08-10T13:38:04.824+01:002010-08-10T13:38:04.824+01:00I found your post so interesting, Ilona.

Lets face it, it is soooo good not to have to get up go to work when it is sunny or really cold. There are compensations!lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135747077774428079noreply@blogger.com
