hello folks, howya been?
Work is really keeping me busy at the moment; lots of 'happy campers' coming and going.... This past weekend, for example, I ended uo with 84, altogether.... by monday afternoon, the site was empty again..... you see it's a pause palce really, more than a really active campsite, because in reality, there's very little to do here.... it's a stop-over place more than a 'let's stop here' place! It's convenient for going into Germany, Belgium, Sitzerland, south of France, southern Spain and Italy. So folks reach the end of the day, and look for a convenient little place to stop. Guess I'm it - !!
Nick has left now, to start his job waaaaaay over on the other side of France. If any of you can haul up a map of France, Gray (nearest large-ish town to me) is about 200km away from the Swiss border, and he's in Finistére, West coast, Atlantic side. It's about 900km away, so popping home in the evenings is not an option, and neither is a weekend - it takes a full day to get from one side of the country to the other. France is absolutely top-hole geared up for North-South travel, but let me tell you, East-West travel is an absolute nightmare!!
I really miss him, but I'm almost astonished at myself; I am actually managing to 'detach' from my emotions - !! I have never felt this way before, which tells me I have progressed somewhat.... I used to be very clingy, dependent on "loving" relationships, and quite Romantically demanding.... now, I miss him a whole lot, but I find myself successfully focussing on the 'every day is one day less' aspect of it all, and abiding in quietness and serenity.
Does all this sound a bit "I'm ever so wonderful"? I hope not.... most of you will know what I'm like..... I just wanted to pint out that it's experiences like this which reveal the successful achievements obtainable through walking the 8 fold path....
keep this forum going guys, it's the best one on the web, I'm convinced, so post and share!!
As ever, Federica

Is this a permenent thing for Nick?
There would be no point us being so far apart all the time... I mean, a temporary period is one thing, but it's pretty senseless beyond that....
What's this three-day week-end you've had then....?
We used to have one of those around Pentecost until Rafarin put the kybosh on it.... but with their usual flair, the French took it as a holiday anyway, inspite of things....
I'm glad to hear you are busy and that being apart from a loved one is no longer the difficulty it previously was. I'm glad you feel progression is occurring in your practice - remember to enjoy it for more than just that!
A big bow,
Dave
