    Hello Aguilega.

    Your name caught my attention as its one of my favourite flowers, though there are many.
    Our stories are very similar, I have had nerves since my 30īs too. Maybe years apart but many episodes, and the latest had me looking online for more help and thatīs how I came to NMP. What a help it is to be with people who really understand nervous suffering.

    I just looked at your beautiful website, obviously we have the same appreciation for countryside, plants and animals/ birds. My own photo album is crammed with the same things, though I can never manage to take pictures of birds. They always fly away before I can snap them, though this summer I did manage to get a photo or 2 of Swallows nesting in my porch. The photos werenīt good though but I had a group of guests here, one of whom was an excellent photographer and he sat with his camera pointed at the nest for hours and got some stunning pictures of the parents feeding the babies I was also lucky enough to see the swallows fledge and leave the nest, what a time the parents had trying to keep the family together. In the end they all made their own way in life.

    Your photos are stunning and made me long to get back to the UK even more. I have lived in Spain for the last 15 years but have been trying to sell up and move back home for the last 5 years. I so miss the English countryside and wish I was there right now as the trees put on their autumn show.

    Lovely to meet you , but shame about the circumstances. We are like minded in our quest to carry on as normally as possible despite the torment that is often raging inside. I always say as long as I can put one foot in front of the other Iīm doing alright.

    Dear Aquiliga.

    It was so nice to get your reply. So many people donīt bother to respond to anything, but given the circumstances of why we are all here, its understandable really.

    The dreaded morning feeling is awful and does knock the wind out of your sails, tummy ache wouldnīt help either and I hope yours goes soon, if it doesnīt maybe a trip to your GP is advisable.

    Keep on plodding I will do the same.

    Bye for now
