With travel bans likely to be in place well into 2021, I have plenty of time to research and plan my next solo journey.
My trip woes are facile and trivial - of no consequence at all in light of the pain, suffering and loss people are experiencing due to Covid-19.
But for the time being, self isolation, looking after vulnerable people and loved ones and doing the right thing (ALL of the time) for however long, is at the top of our respective agendas.
Take care of yourselves
And those you love
And those you don't
of
Loving your garden.
ReplyDeleteThere are a number of people in my extended family in a similar position to you. Sometimes the travel companies are being amenable, sometimes less so.
Stay well, stay safe. And happy dreaming.
I've lost some $$$s EC but many have lost so much more. Stay safe and well down your way too.
DeleteBeautiful garden Rose!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and kind comment.
I have been very sad and alone on my house, because of the Covid19.
I miss so much my dear Carlos...
I wish all is well with you!
As said Elephant's Child, Stay well and safe!
Big hugs my dear friend.
These are tough times for many Sonia, and I completely understand how very much your heart aches for dear Carlos. Hugs back.
DeleteI hope you are still alive and well and planning many trips yet, solo or in tandem. Alaska would have been fascinating, I hope it’ll still come to pass.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose U, it would be the UK hands down!
DeleteHi Rose from Oz, I don’t know of any other way to get in touch with you, but you asked about the sort of bamboo I am going to plant once it arrives: it’s going to be clump forming types, not the rhizome thugs. I am a bit old to control the great massive spreaders.
DeleteI hope your travels will soon resume. Good luck to all of us new singletons (and others too, of course)
Dear Rose,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for kind words of comfort for the loss of Brahma. Sofia asks me to thank you so much to you too!
Tomorrow is another sad day to me and my daughter and son. August 18 will be two years since my dearest and beloved Carlos passed away.
I miss him so much every day! I will remember Carlos for ever and I must remember the good times I shared with him.
But I confess to you that it has been very difficult to me, mainly in this time of isolation, when I have been very alone at my apartment.
I hope all is very well with you and your family!
Sending lots of hugs and Love!
Sonia.
Dear friend Rose,
ReplyDeleteSorry my delay to answer to you for your kindest words of comfort on my tribute to my dearest Carlos on my post "Love Forever".
Every words that you wrote, sounds very true for me and helpful to me so much!
I agree that widowhood is not a journey any of us wish to take. I feel the same you said: "Life is never and can never be quite the same".
The loss of Carlos has been very difficult to me and is very hard to be able to overcome this loss. My emotion when I was making that post was very intense and brought countless memories from our youth and dating times and our marriage too! I cried a lot when I was looking for these photos. At the same time I was happy to remember lovely moments.
Love your quote: "Grief is only as big as the love lost".
Yes, my grief, dear Rose, was as your grief for your dearest husband.
I remember well when I read your sad post about your loss of a very, very big love.
Thanks again for your kindest words.
All my love to you too, my dear friend Rose!
