I also find can speak my mind more (hope not hurtfully though !) .. will I get like Blanche out of Corrie or Catherine Tate as one of her characters who does this ? Fun though, 'cause get forgiven more easily, using my age as an excuse
Go for it Katex. When we were doing our travels in Oz we met up with a....how shall I say....late middle aged lady, who had sold everything she owned and was looking for a man to share her life......she was open and honest about her reason for her travels. She said she didn't want to spend a lonely old age and even if she didn't find a man she would have her memories of her solitary adventures to keep her warm.....me, well I'm not quite as adventurous as that...and I'd rather have a blanket.
