I have a lovely family but he is my life..

As the Seekers put it:

And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you"

Or another ewe..............


Did you really get married at Gretna Green?

Happy that you’re happy with your wife.

If you have to ask yourself that question, you aren't in love with that person.



After 47 years, yes I believe it and no, I would never want to find another.

Lovely Mags, I can always remember my driving instructor saying to me in a conversation, you will know when you are in love and he was right, I have been married x2 I loved my ex husbands,but I know now I was never in love with them, they weren’t in love with me either.
