Something is definitely working. I'm hazy about links but will settle fot this just now. Somewhere in cyber space is another site with a pretty green top - wave if you see it. Some months back my eldest son said I should look at blogs and introduced me to Random acts of Reality, Jonny B's Secret Diary and Zinnia Cyclamen which I - knowing him - thought was about real ale. I was hooked and then discovered Universal Soldier, Growing up and Gyuana Gyal -forgive the spelling GG I'm scared of leaving the page to check. I enjoyed everything about it especially the exchange of comments. Having spent enough time at the bottom of slush piles it was heartening to get feed back.
Everybody has a story and some of you were kind enough to express interest in mine
hence Past Imperfect. To start with I am going with Zinnia's suggestion which is to invite you to ask a question and I will do my best to answer as honestly as possible.
I must just tell you in yesterday's Telegraph there was an article by Alison Palmer about US author Terry Hekkerwho wrote a book about her successful marriage and then th b....r left her on her 40th wedding anniversary for a younger woman. And here am I spouting off about my marriage. 'Would you do that to me?' I asked MTL. 'No.'he said, 'You are my dolly bird!'

Hi Pat! Congrats on the blog, I really look forward to reading it ;o)

My question is: will you tell us about your amazing True Love story?

I am very intrigued by your profile which says about being with your true love after a separation of 30 years. You opened the floor to questions so this is mine. Please can you tell us/me the story behing this?

US I'm hoping one day I'll have writing things at the side like links and photos but hey Rome wasn't built in a day.
GU I think it's sweet too.
kath I expect the story to unfold prompted by questions

Hey Pat!!! I'm so excited to finally be able to leave a comment on your blog that I had to split an infinitive. I think. Never was much good at grammar. Little Women - Alan Bennett - yes!! Your eldest son reads my blog? That feels like a compliment. But, hey, this is supposed to be about you. So here's a question: national photographic model, what did that job entail? I have many more questions but that will do for now. A very warm welcome to blogland!

Zinnia I have been thinking all weekend and have decided, in order not to go bananas, I will begin at the beginning and hope people will stay with it.

Zinnia Cyclamen said...

Sounds like a fine plan to me. I'll be here!

That is so adorable, you're his dolly bird. I find it scary, this marrage thing, couples grow old together, then he leaves her. And she's alone.

GG Yeah I know. I think I'd probably do MTL in first!
