Turning 40...

In a couple of months, I'll have reach the grand middle age of 40. Why don't I feel excited about this though? I find it hard to believe, I'm actually going to be 40!!

They say life starts at 40, how does it?

Since my eldest son moved out a year ago, and who now lives with his girlfriend, I feel so old. It's like I'm now where my parents were, the old fogey. Yet, I know deep down that's not true. I don't see other people in their 40' 50's or 60's as old. Yet I see myself as old lol. Weird hey?

I do feel a responsibility since my boys have all grown up to act in a respsonsible adult way. When they were small, I felt like a kid myself and loved to join in their games. I was always playing their board games with them, hide and seek etc. I do miss those days. They were fun.
I know I have all that to look forward to in the future with my future Granchildren.

I'm wondering, do all mums feel like this as their children grow into young adults?

Looking forward to hearing any comments, about how you worked through this.

You are so young Margo!

Think I was too taken up with my young family to notice 40, 50 was tough, 60 I just sailed through without a second thught and still trying to come to terms with 70!

Depression

I've decided to do this post as I want to reach out to people who are suffering with depression. I myself have gone through depression, at this moment I am coming out of it, it's been a long dark lonely phase of my life. I believe it started in 2007, one thing seemed to happen one after another. In the end I just couldn't cope and my depression became full blown. I tried so hard to battle it on my own. When I first realised I was suffering with depression, my first reaction was panic, as I knew it meant something was wrong. I was supposed to be this strong loving wife to my husband and a strong and supportive loving mother to my children. On the outside I could hide it and pretend all was okay, where as on the inside I was a complete and utter nervous wreck who was crying out for help. The biggest mistake I did to cope was to use alcohol. I used it to hide away from my problems. It was my way of shutting it out. Of course alcohol can make you feel good at the time, but it&#

Joe's First Flight.

Click the picture to see its full size. While we were at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, we were thrilled to find out they had tutor flights on offer. Our 12 year old son Joe, wants a career in the RAF as a pilot, and is also going to join the Air Cadets this summer. We want to do all we can to encourage him with his ambition and so we made sure he would get his chance to be in the sky. He often practices with Flight Sims, if you think that's easy, think again. It's not and basically it's a simulation of a real aircraft. The best thing of all was it was in one of Joe's (and one of all of our favourite planes) favourite planes, the Tiger Moth. We booked him a flight and at 12:45pm, he went for a 15 minute flight where he was able to take the controls in that time and fly it himself. He was so nervous, but also so excited. Here he was living out his dream. It was his first time in an Airplane and much more special that it was in a Tiger Moth. His dad and I were on t

Hi all, Well, we recently maidened our new plane. Thankfully it was a success! :) Before we maiden a plane it is a bit stressful, as you never know just how well the plane will fly. We have had a one which didn't make it after the maiden, mainly because the tail was warped a bit. Anyway enough of that. I'm talking about our new plane. :) She was a success and here's the video of her maiden. :) Oh yes and hubby got carried away with the text as he put this movie together. :) Also, just want to wish everyone a Very Merry Xmas!!!!!
