Ok! Today did not start well! Just as I was taking R up to the nursery I had an accident? It was such a wierd thing! I was comming out nicely the road when out of nowhere...this car bumped into me. I saw her so far away...I gaged I can get out...(after all one has to be moving at one point or another) and as I was turning nice and easy into the huge road I saw this little mini comming towards me. I accelerated but the road was so skiddy...I thought I can;t move out of her way and watched her bump into my side...she moved me rather a lot (I mean the position of my car). Reuben screamed...I think it was the noise rather than the actual collision....
I got out the car to find a very scared 20 year old...she was in a hurry to get to an exam at the Independent College in Rochester. When she saw a very dsiturbed R she cried....so I had two people to console while phone the police etc. Anyway, police was nice (THANKS GOODNESS) and they said we probably were both wrong...I should have been mindful of the conditions (weather) and she shouldn't have been speeding so bad....so both accepted liability and now its in the insurer's hands. However, it is a scary day. IT is also the day of MY FATHER IN LAWS FUNERAL. I was so sad to have Jonathan having to cope with this as well. Once again he was amazing my darling husband after taking r to nursery and comforting him he gave me a big cuddle and said its only metal LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT......ahhhh! I am grateful I am alive all together and able to live. It could have been so much worse! My neighbour came around and said...."I AM A GOOD SUBJECT FOR HER NOVEL WHICH SHE HAS STARTED TO WRITE" - she also said "Maria your life is so exciting, dramatic, adventurous...." at the end of the day....I am looking at that car and would be hard if it came of the road...(which we think will be his fate) that car was SO ME. Bent, dented, missing bits (mirror) and with a huge history....but in good hands ...! Anyway....so lmuch of my philosophies, anaolgies one thing is certain....LIFE IS GOOD, GOD IS GOOD and as ever I AM THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE together with my lovely son.

Here some more pics!

Maybe two guilty women!- its not like this has never happened before although it feels like it!
