I can hardly believe that this is only my second post this year! I know it is only mid March but what a rocky year it has been so far.
January saw a quick trip to London with Gordon and his daughter, Samantha. It was her first ever visit and we managed to pack a lot in in only a few days. My legs were really causing me problems at the time as well, so that didn't help. Then it was back to work with a vengeance and I was madly trying to catch up after being off ill for so long. I was also trying to find footwear that fitted as the under floor heating made my lymphoedema worse.
February went by in a flash. It saw the sad death of my godmother who was my mother's older sister, a few visits to my good friend Heather and even some scrapbooking as I had agreed to set one of the weekly challenges over on UKS. Apart from that it was work, more work and time with my family.
March started with my daughter's 30th birthday party followed 2 days later by her actual birthday. The next day my challenge went live and my wonderful friend Heather lost her hard fought battle with cancer. She was the most wonderfully kind hearted lady whose personality shone bright and bold and there is a big hole in my life now she is no longer with us. Heather planned her own funeral which was attended by many people from vastly different parts of the UK.
This weekend at her local crop we let off balloons in her memory. Sandra organised it all and read a beautiful poem and the minister of the Church whose hall we crop in said a few heartfelt words. As we stood in the snow clutching our balloons and thinking of Heather her presence was felt very strongly.
Next weekend sees my annual treat of a whole weekend scrapbooking peacefully with friends and I can't wait!
