Love / WILDROVERS FIVE YEARS IN POLAND....come to an end...! [132]

No tears please...its for the best really....

After five years alone in the forest , its time to move on....

The five years have been a mixture of solitude , learning , some sadness , some madness...but on the whole a happy time.....

All my plans for a good life in Poland went down the toilet when i got ripped off and stitched up by somebody in the UK... The money that was going to make me an easy life in Poland went missing...rather a lot of it...

As a result , the one year of roughing it became five years of a struggle to survive...It would have been easier to give up and run back to the UK , but i made my mind up i was staying , no matter how tough it got...And it did get tough...my worst moment was ten days without food after some money went missing....

For the first year i felt very alone on my quiet farm in the forest..by the second year i got used to it...by the third year i began to like it...during the fourth year it became normal...and i loved it....

I met and dated some nice Polish women , and a completly mad Latvian girl..but true love did not come my way....UNTILL...november last year , actually on my birthday... I had registered on some dating site , and after hundreds of contacts from stunning and too young Russian girls confessing instant love i got one message that simply said... have you found your special lady yet...? Normally i would delete most messages without reading them , but this one i read , and the picture that went with it was lovely.....I was sure i had found my special lady....From that moment we spoke every night on skype until the early hours and our relationship grew very quickly into something very nice....

After six months of daily contact we decided it was time to meet...the place was the lovely city of Kiev in Ukraine...i starved for a long time to raise the cash to repair my Jeep and fuel it all the way to Kiev , but it was worth it...My Ksusha was every bit as wonderfull as i knew she would be , and she felt the same about me... We spent nine blissfull days in the best hotel , among the parties and parades for the 65th anniversary of the ending of the great patriotic war and fell completely in love with each other....

Then suddenly it was all over.... I stood in a puddle of Russian tears as i watched the Moscow train carry her away from me... It was a long sad drive back to Poland...! We knew that there was no doubt we wanted to be together , and we made plans for her to move to Poland to try and make a home out of my hovel untill either i could sell a house in the UK , or she sold her Moscow flat...Our plans were not going so well , and i was aware that she had never been out of Russia , other than to the Ukraine , and she had a daughter at university in Moscow....Suddenly i saw the answer...i told her i would move to Russia..! We had never talked about this , but she was full of joy that i was willing to do it for her....since this decision our plans are working out better , although i don,t know yet who is going to look after my farm while i go to Russia for 90 days to marry her and apply to live there... Initially we will live in her flat close to the centre of Moscow , which will be a bit of a change from the absolute peace of the farm..but next summer we will move into a new house by the side of Lake Plescheevo , 140 kms north east of Moscow....

I shall still be around on the Polishforums...and of course you are all welcome to come and stay by the lake , and sail in my boat should you find yourelf near Moscow....

I shall miss Poland of course , i made some good friends here , and i will miss my farm , although for the moment i am not selling it , i will let a friend have it to use as a base for his paintballing...or is it ballpainting , i am not sure...?

so...if you are over Moscow way...come and say hello...i shall make sure there is some Polsh vodka in stock...!!!
