The Introduction Co.
I can't thank you enough for bringing us together and I'm so glad I didn't back out of the first date!
We meet up every weekend, and sometimes in the week as well. I am currently doing Psychiatry for 6 months in Scarborough and am living at Mum and Dad's seaside house in Bridlington. I've just sold my Northallerton house and am looking for somewhere to rent. Ben and I do hope to live together, but we're not quite at that point yet.
I've met nearly all his family now and feel very comfortable with them. Equally, Mum and Dad think he is fantastic, and the parents all get on very well together. They've even started meeting up without us!
Ben has brightened up my life so much and helped me to become more confident. We enjoy swimming together, I've got him out on walks and he's taken me ice-skating as well as on the bike. He has come to church a few times, although I try not to invite him too often. It's quite funny that religion doesn't seem to be a problem between us, but food is! He has a much bigger appetite than me, and always needs to eat!
We have just got back from a week's holiday in Spain, and had a lovely time. We were able to relax and enjoy unrushed time together. We stayed in Begur, which is east of Girona on the Costa Brava in a wonderful hotel called Aiguaclara- we can recommend it! We even went snorkelling together- something I never thought I would do!
Ben is so intelligent, caring and thoughtful, and I feel able to talk about anything with him now. He can be a real monkey sometimes, and he always cheers me up. We do talk about the future, and have much to look forward to. He really is my 'other half' and he makes me so happy.
Lesley, thank you again, and please feel free to quote any of the above if you feel it'll be useful.
Lots of love from Anna. Xxx
