As they said on NZ's Toyota ads of the 90s: B*gger! (If you haven't seen them look them up on youtube - they will make you smile as they are quintessentially NZ.)<br />We met you earlier this year (I have been searching back through our blog and have found the post where I mention you http://nbwakahuia.blogspot.co.nz/2015/05/friends-reunited.html ) when you and your neighbour were sitting outside on your steps as I was waiting for boats to exit the lock. I have often thought of you as I am traversing tunnels - you offered to take us through Blisworth some time at the crack of dawn, so you could stop and show us the features of it. Given I get through the tunnels with as much alacrity as I can, the thought of going through slowly and stopping to look at stuff gave me the shivers! Me and being underground don't get along too well (I can't go into Waitomo Caves ...).<br />It does sound as though you are making good progress physically, and what I perceive is that most of your anxiety comes from a sense of powerlessness. Clearly you are a woman who has had control over all aspects of your life, and here you are without it, and in an environment where that is not understood - or is so taken for the norm that it is unremarkable, in fact it is invisible to those who are perceived to have the power (that's their perception and ours, if we are honest). <br />We are back in NZ so are unable to visit, but would love to stay in touch by email. My email address is marilyn@cherswud.com<br />In the meantime, keep that dancing to a minimum, Kathryn!<br />Cheers, Marilyn McDonald, Waikanae, NZMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.com
