Thoughts
This time of year is always hard as sadness wells up even before I realise the anniversaries of Didi's, Penny's and Mum's deaths come so close together. Seeing photos here helps to focus on the good times for which I am ever grateful.

Two years on, without Didi in our lives. Memories come back all the time. Yesterday there was a small sale of Persian carpets in our local market hall; thought of Didi's expertise in carpets and the types she loved. Last night, my husband's choir held it's annual bash with a French theme; we talked about Didi over Gallette de Roi and how she'd once flown back from Paris with a professional Pithiviers to compare with David's cooking of one. So many associations, never fogotten. x

Didi's birthday coincides with the Jubilee celebrations today; when she was born it was Derby day, so it is usually on or near summer celebrations and, of course, the height of the year in light and in the garden. Time to give thanks again for all the good times.

Candles
Birthday month again. Always missed. Now we have a little grandson now, I am sad you and Mum have missed meeting him.

Can't believe Didi would have been 66 today. Still much thought of, though, sadly, Mum's Alzheimer's has wiped away so many memories there.

Didi and I always lighted candles in Catholic churches, for Mum who we knew would love them. Now I light them for Didi too, and dear friend Penny who died a day after Didi.
