October – an important month in this House.

My husband and I are both born in October; we’re two weeks apart. Every year during those 2 weeks, we like to spend some time with each other and for each other.

It’s part of the continuing promise we make year after year. Some years it’s hard because we have very little money and we’re both extremely stressed but we now know, after many years of trial and error, that if we don’t take this time trouble arises.

It’s a time to remind ourselves that the other is there as guidance; to listen and share with each other. Where neither feels under pressure to say or do the right thing
