the end of the road (huw and rose)

JORDAN | Sunday, 17 April 2011 | Views [2339] | Comments [12]

The blog has been left unattended for some time now - a very long gap, even for us. The reason neither of us have felt like writing, or even remembered that this site existed, is because we've been going through an exceedingly tough personal time. We separated in February. This is a very hard thing to write and explain. We've felt loved and supported by family and friends, but it is still a very difficult and lonely time for us both.

We are both still in Jordan at the moment, partly due to new work commitments, partly due to the truck's requirements. The tyres we bought turned out to be rated at 30kmph max so we've had to have some more shipped over from the UK and these are proving very difficult to get through customs. The overall situation is not helped by the current uncertainty and civil unrest in Syria - though at least there are visa stamps in our passports now.

Our plans are currently unsure. Huw has to continue his journey in the truck as the paperwork is all in his name. Rose will continue her journey too, but it seems that we will not be together anymore.

Our paths are uncertain and will no doubt, one day take us home. But for this blog, which was built on dreams that have so sadly run their course, this is the end of the road.

How sad. I wondered where you'd got to. Good luck and peace to you both, at least you had the spirit to try and live your dream. Be safe. xx

You speak as if the time was lost! Condolences to Rose and Huw but the people I know would not let regret tarnish extrordinary memories of a profound shared experience! Miss you as well. Cxx

I love you both. It's tough, but it's also beautifully cool and lovely how you've managed it. At times like this it's easy for you (but not us) to forget how incredibly awesome you both are. That you want different things from life is natural and perfectly cool. That you've found that out and come to such a relatively smooth ending is inspirational and testament to you both.

Much love.xx

Life is like that sometimes. People come together, but only for a season. I have no doubt that one day you'll look back on this part of your journey as the beautiful, life-changing experience that it was. All my best to you both.

We are so sorry to hear this. Your journey together was incredible and will not be forgotten by either of you, no matter how it ended. Always a bed for you in Balham, or in Welsh mountain exile. Sending much love, A&T xxx

Those last two lines of your blog has made me really sad!Gutted for you two and wot dreams have ended but we all sleep and new dreams will come.It is odd to think that we are all on the same trip but we all make different journeys its just finding out where those journeys take us. Be strong dudes and if you guys return to sunny ol blighty and visit ya family round the corner give us a bell!X
