| M, R and L |
Last weekend the delightful M & R (of the "plant sale fame") very kindly invited me to a "kiddie" birthday party hosted by R's daughter, L. The party was at a private house and it was the perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon, in a lovely shady back garden.
As a special bonus I met a new little feline friend!

Today marks six months since MouseMum died and comes at the end of an emotional week in which four residents moved out. So today I am expecially thoughtful of, and thankful for, all my precious and loved friends and family, old and new, near and far.
Those who are familiar with the celebration of Robbie Burns birthday will recognise "A toast to absent friends" as the last of the formal toasts and speeches. It is a tribute to those who have enriched our life but are no longer here. Not a sad occasion but a celebration best drunk from a full cup.
A toast to absent friends
"To absent friends
to those we have met
to those we have yet to meet
to those who have left us for a while
and to those who have left us forever
let us lift our glasses
and drink a toast
to those we have met
to those we have yet to meet
to those who have left us for a while
and to those who have left us forever
let us lift our glasses
and drink a toast
 |
| And finally... Happy Birthday Tracy! |
that they may abide in our hearts
Forever
A toast to absent friends"
