Hi Sarah
Yes im back in Malvern sadly. I loved Sardinia very much but life aboard with Alan was difficult. He is a nice guy, kind and caring and he loved me very much but I did find it hard living in such close quarters with someone whom I found to be a loner, who didnt wish to socialise etc.
Im a naturally chatty, inquisetive, outgoing, childlike person who hates acting her age.
Alan is a crusty old hermit who only needs his own company and a book. The hours of unbroken sullen silence and the moody dissaproving looks didnt make me feel relaxed or welcome.
I do miss the fun we had when we first met and im sure he misses me in his own way.
I dont blame either of us for it not working out, I dont regret a moment of our time together, it just wasnt going to work out long term.

Suffolk and London are off my beaten track at the moment, but its always good to chat.

Happy christmas to you both.

Hi there and so sorry to hear about you and Alan. And he is a lovely guy, but I can just imagine what you mean. It does happen to a lot of guys who spend quite a bit of time single-handing; they get a bit over the top with the grumpy gitness!

Does this mean you are now in the UK for a bit? And if so, are you likely to be in London at all? Or Suffolk? If so, do you fancy a drink? Both to swap notes on Alan, but also to talk to sailing women (and you never know maybe a trip on RG sometime)
