Years ago, in the final months of my first marriage I bought a lovely duck-egg blue tablecloth. A quintessential cheery cloth, the kind you might see in children’s books, or Disney movies. I knew what I was doing, even if I never acknowledged it to myself. I was trying to save a relationship that couldn’t be saved.
Hi Cary, this week’s essay really resonated with me. I tend to ‘spend’ rather than ‘eat’ my emotions so nest building is my forte! My firstborn left home for Uni 200+ miles away last September and I sought a lot of comfort in buying stuff…I have joined a female friendship group online and it made a difference.
This is the rise of the Queenager. This demographic has become so significant in terms of travel that this term has recently been coined to describe a new generation of women at the helm of their own lifeships barely a generation and a bit after they would have been laughed at when driving a car

I love your description of 'the formidable blend of confidence, experience and robust health that can be and often is, middle age.' Very inspiring 💪😃
What a lovely positive post about middle-age for a change! 👏👏👏
I too am very excited about what the next chapter in my life might bring. 😃🥳
