Joys of an empty nest
My fledgeling has left the nest: after nearly 19 years we’re back to just being a couple. My husband and I have been moving towards this for a while now but we were a little surprised how strange the house felt without our teenager. A little concern for how he was going to get on though we did meet up for a coffee yesterday morning.
Being a man, our Ken (he’s moved up north, so we get to use such terms now 😀 ) has left his childhood room behind with little to show that anything has been removed.
I remember leaving home – I made the bed with fresh sheets and ensured anything I wasn’t taking with me was homed in cupboards, shelves and/or boxes.
Not so with my lad. There is stuff everywhere and as we’re entering a cold and damp autumn, I cannot help but notice how many jumpers are strewn about his room.
I appreciate there are differences between men and women but this is beyond that, surely?
