Twice divorced Lynn had given up onlove,until she sat down to dinner at table number 13
The number 13 may have an unlucky image, but for me it’s been very lucky indeed.
I wasn’t always lucky in love. I married for the first time when I was just 18 and together we had our kids Stacie (44) and Ewart (42).
I liked my husband but over time, we fell out of love and grew apart. We divorced when I was 29, and then I married again when I was 32. That marriage was all passion and no substance, and within two years, we called it off.
After that I never met another man I wanted to marry. I’d built up a career I was proud of as an accountant but felt ready for adventure.
Starting nearby, I booked a trip to Scotland, taking in the beautiful lochs and Highlands.
I then booked a flight to South Africa. Watching elephants swim across a river in Botswana, I knew I wanted to see as much of the world as I could.
Over the years, I saw the Terracotta Warriors in China, marvelled at Machu Picchu in South America and cried as I walked around a memorial to those who’d lost their lives in Hiroshima. I took a coast-to-coast tour of Canada and gazed at the spectacular scenery in New Zealand.
My friends used to say I lived such a fun life, surely I wanted a man by my side. There were times I thought it would have been lovely, but I didn’t want to settle for just anyone and was happy in my own company.
