Leaving the nest

I've revealed in my past blogs that I have a farm but I'm also a city dweller, and I like fashion illustrating but my main endeavour for the past 23 years has been the nurturing of my 3 beautiful daughters....a huge success, even if I do say so myself. But at what cost...now they are ready to fly in their own directions, I find myself a little lost and in a quandery as to where to go next. I have a dear friend, who's inspired me to start this site but she is so successful at it...I've yet to reveal to her my blogspot...I guess practice makes perfect.

Back to 'London calling'...one of my daughters has flown the coup, only last week, in fact...she's a job in London, and has booked to come back for her's and her twin sister's 21st in Dec. Friends all say she'll be back sooner than you think, ...but my gut instinct tells me, if she's anything like me, this is the start of her new life as an independent soul...and that's how I planned it....and really wouldn't want it any other way but, boy, it takes some getting used to !

I suppose I wouldn't be so lost if I had pursued my own interests more seriously...and now after all this time find it hard to gain the confidence to try new challenges - and to come to terms with my own ageing, and my new role in their lives. A restless soul dying to get up and go but doesn't know how.
