I'm not too worried about the internet.The town next to me is a little larger and between the two I have found five people with the same name that I have, but with different middle names. This is very well written.

My dear friend, your life is getting better and better, you found your mother, now you found the man of your dreams, I'm sure you will find your father.
Now I understand why you speak Spanish and why you live in Spain.
I can't wait to find out if you found your father.
Look decided at the beginning of the story.

Un abrazo para ti.

    Hola Bryana, Yes I have had a very good life and still do. I love to live in Spain, a country I have known since a very small child. I lived in Madrid for a while studying Spanish literature at the University there back in the early Seventies. I have spoken Spanish or Castellano since I was very young, and read a lot of the classics. Thanks so much Bryana for following my story. Un abrazo para ti tambien. Ulla:)) Ps. Will go in to the site you mentioned. Haven't forgotten.

Hi Ulla, it is truly wonderful that you met such a wonderful man ay=t last, but I have to admire your patience, Phoning your Mum and not asking about Dad for such a long time, that would have drove me insane.
Your beautiful story continues to keep my attention in fact I think it gets better with every chapter my friend.

1.) Glasgow to meet with my friend. I'd (decided) to play it safe.

2.) A quick embrace, and she turned to me. "What are you having, Ulla?"
--> does this mean you embraced her BACK....? *smile*

3.) my fate was sealed. I'd just bumped into (the man who) was to become my future husband.
--> he is not a 'what'

4.) I laughed. "(Come on,) Mum, I'm fifty one, hardly a girl any more. But do tell me, how are you getting on?"

Wow! How brave you are, Ulla! I can't believe you're about to do it again! But I'm behind you! Go, girl!

I'm the biggest sucker in the world for happy endings and, especially, when good things happen to nice people. I can hardly wait to read the next chapter. Great chapter. :-)

Wow, what a whirlwind romance. Glad it all turned out well.

- I boarded the train up to Glasgow - cut 'up' ?

-Wow, you meet a guy in a bar and decide to go sail with him. Luckily he wasn't a serial killer of some sort.

-Don't know whether he'll still be there - whether he's still there...

-Mum went on to give me his - tighten to Mum gave me...

-A few minutes later, (comma) and I was connected.

Another great cliffhanger. I can't even imagine how it must feel to ring someone and say, hi dad, I'm your daughter after 51 years. Looking forward to the continuation. :)

    Hi Tessa, yeah, it was quite a year 2003. Everything just happened to me. Unbelievable!. As you know we have lived happily ever since her in Spain. I have made corrections and many more edits and I think it read so much tighter. Thanks for pointing it all out to me. All the best. Ulla. Looking forward to here about your Portugal plans.

You are most certainly the Queen of Cliff Hangers! Well done, Ulla. May I assume you're still with Alan?

You've led a very interesting life. Not all roses, of course, but definitely not boring. So glad you finally have the proper information for finding your Father. Now I must wait for your next chapter to find out what happens next!
