Memories

Another beautiful day.  I laze on the patio eating porridge and reading the paper.  I then make a pathway through our 'cottage garden' to put the libdem tomato and courgette plants in the greenhouse.  Fingers crossed. 

In the afternoon, with rampant hayfever, I head to the local church to the Memorial Service to be close to my lovely Mum.  No, to feel close.  She is always close, I know that.  As ever, the vicar is kind, wonderful and humble.  Flowers and candles for our loved ones and a poem by Stephen O'Brien.  I shed as many tears as I have in all the time since she died.  The hayfever does not help.  

Tea and biscuits are strangely therapeutic and I talk to a lovely person who went to school near me, to my university (contemporaneously) and was born near Lichfield where we lived for 10 years.  

On my way home I see more Yellow Flag Iris.



This is really nice as I tóok a purple iris from the garden to the service. (Having forgotten to buy the freesia)
