Changes

When i started to blog i wanted to make some changes in my life but for a million and one reasons including my daughters wedding i found myself in a situation where i needed to leave things as they were. But the Monday after the wedding i went and started putting things in place to eventually start the changes i had promised myself at the beginning of last year i went, to a lawyer and filed for a divorce. And although my husband will always be my first love, the father to my children, and i will deep down always love him, i am no longer prepared to except the disappearing acts, the unwillingness to pay his share, and the total lack of affection for anyone but himself, and the stories he makes up either because he believes they are real, or to cover up what he is doing in his own life.

To get away from the stress and the mudane, my youngest daughter and i decided to go on a "road trip" after her Dad had informed her he would see her after Christmas,no Christmas present no pocket money, nothing and what fun we have had so far we decided to do everything different than we usually do it, we could not chose the food we normally ate, we could not eat at the places we would normally eat ,we are not allowed to drink what we would normally drink.
We sang all the way in the car with no one telling us to be quiet, we refused to eat at Wimpy's and instead had amazing meals at incredible restaurants, when we arrived at our over night stop, we changed and spent hours in the pool cooling off............... what a relaxing end to a long drive.
Supper was different very nice and very different, a tiny little restaurant, the service was amazing the food was good, and i finished with a Vanilla Coffee.......................jummy................... will definately have one of those again.............
The next morning, we had a leasurely breakfast, and we were back on the road, spend an hour shopping in Queenstown, which has the best Mr Price in South Africa, i have never in my life stood in such a long queue, the queue was down from the till and down the entire lenght of the shop, there must hae been about 60 people in front of us, but my daughter had found the "perfect" outfit so in the queue we stood and stood and stood..............................
When we arrived in East London we went to a place on the beach and had a milkshake, we had a Blue Dolphin Shake, which you would think would be blue, we still do not know what it was, it was brown??? My daughter is going withj Horlicks, and i am going with "just awful" and we
just watched the sea, the entire trip was amazing we had constant phone calls from people making sure that we were safe, and that we were all on time, our phones never stopped ringing, how blessed we are to be surrounded by such amazing people.
In the evening we played a game "30 seconds" we have never laughed so much, we were 3 teams and my daughter and i won the first round .................
This morning we were up early and spent the morning chilling out on the beach, we got a little sunburnt, but where else can you share a beach with only 30o other people at the height of the holdiday season...................
Tomorrow we are off to Port Alfred for the day, we are meeting some friends there for lunch................... this is the most relaxing holiday i have had in a long time i wonder why...........................................
