Coming Down from The Northern Air (and it just feels right)
Live performance at 'Folk in The Hut' Wimborne - 12th March 2020
This is a wonderful story, of finding an amazing lover and soul-mate via internet dating, at the age of seventy!
The title itself comes from the circumstances of how Julie and I met. We met on our first date at the Hive Beach Café on Chesil Beach, where we got drenched by a freak rogue wave that left us soaked up to the waist. Julie then announced that she was going to spend Christmas with her Son in Sweden.
So our ‘dating’ continued over the internet, face-time and endless telephone calls, and as our virtual relationship grew it became clear to both of us that “It just feels right”
The words are deeply symbolic
"Although you're a thousand miles, you wrap me up inside your smiles"
Julie was in Sweden, calling me with the sweetest smile.
"Watch the screens and bide your time" - is what we were both doing, with internet dating, until we 'found' each other.
“Harmonies on the cyber-waves” ( our dating site was eharmony !)
“that single star in the window pane” - was the Pole Star that we were both seeing
