Thanks Bert for changing the photos. the one with Rosie and the fruit was taken at a roadside stall in Sri Lanka, August 2006 – God how she loved that fruit. The painting on the home page is by Holly , and the painting of Rosie wrapped in clingfilm ,filled with paint is by Joe. I remember the day she did that , not a drop of paint touched any of the kitchen surfaces ( joke – we were eating the dam stuff for weeks ! )
We have spent the day with the people who were with Rosie when she died . I’m glad there were 10 of us around her , talking to her,holding her and kissing her . She was and is SO loved and I’m glad we could all show it. It was not a private moment , but a time of goodbyes , love and warmth – not many people have that. This morning we saw Bob and Claire , then this afternoon we had a fabulous walk in Rosie’s Woods with Sarah,Richard, Michael , Georgie and Natalie. The woods were beautiful , covered in snow, so different from 6months ago , when we played 40/40/rounders/skipping etc. We then had a slap up meal in the pub and back here for ‘Balderdash’ and post dins drinkies. Rosie was with us every step of the way .
It is now the 21st December.
