@D0rdogne_Damsel, you could tell your friend that you value him too much as a friend. If your relationship changed to something more, there would be too much risk of the romance ending, and destroying what a good thing you both have right now. Hopefully he will take that kindly, that you enjoy his company very much, but not in that way. If you were looking for a serious relationship, I’d be looking for someone younger, given that women usually live longer than men!
@Ergates, that's what my Mum used to say, she didn't do it though, Dad was 3 years older. My OH is nearly 10 years older than me. @Dovefromabove has managed it!
We have been invited to the local pub quiz by a couple in the village who also have a house in France. I hope it won't be all about soaps and football. I've never been to a pub quiz. I've been to gardening club quizzes, won twice, but that's my favourite subject. They were all about plants.
I hope you have a good holiday @Hostafan1 and the weather stays hot.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I have been made to feel guilty and I am now in a stroppy mood. Son had cleared up his stuff that was left here before summer telling me that all the rest still in his room did not matter. On various instances before chucking something I had asked him again about it and the answer was always "I took what I wanted" except that he didn't. His Charlton scarf has ended in the recycling bag a few weeks ago. This time I didn't ask and he is upset. I am so sorry about it, apparently only 50 were made, so no way of buying a new one. Why is it so easy to make me feel crap?
His responsibility @coccinella … not yours … he’s an adult. Sometimes they think mums can read their minds … they need to learn that we can only manage that some of the time. 🙄

you did what you could @coccinella, not your fault at all so stop feeling guilty - he said he’d taken what he wanted, you could do no more.
Breezy and bright here today so far.
I think the advice to tell your friend you value him as a friend only, but don’t want a more serious relationship is good advice and nicely worded by Busy @D0rdogne_Damsel.
The problem is, Mums can read minds. Mine was able to right up until she died. On our last meeting, the first thing she said: have you made up with your father yet, [ I wasn't even aware she knew ]. The only thing she had wrong, was that Dad had been dead for 20 years, but no, Dad and I never made up.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
