Returning

I woke to the news that Sarah and Chris were safely back in the UK. It will be strange to have them in the same time zone!

I had a lovely walk with Lee this morning. Her Dad died two weeks ago so we can easily relate to each other’s feelings. We had met by chance in the supermarket yesterday and discussed the brain fog which seems to accompany grief.

My brother has done a lot of hard work, helping Mum to arrange Dad’s funeral (which isn’t for another few weeks). There are plenty of messages and phone calls to discuss it all and Mum seems to be coping very well.

I have spent quite a lot of time in the garden today - gardening was probably what I had most in common with Dad and it is lovely to be outside in this amazing weather.
I hope we get a quieter night tonight, though - the combine was up cutting silage in the field behind us at 11pm last night. My neighbours were almost driven to distraction by the noise :-(
