Bright and cool and..

I enjoy the short time I have before work starts. It was a stunning morning.

It was a good day of work though. A few surprise visitors and some lovely customers with challenges. One involved Frankenstein stitches on a rucksack, but they were appreciated.

The news by the end of the day, that Queen Elizabeth II had died, left me feeling, well, odd. The boys too. Their connection to their mixed roots, memories and association with England are hugely important. We all had similar emotions. I guess you’d call it grief, however brief it may be. My daddy was born the same year as the Queen. He should have lived as long.. I still grieve for him.
