Memories of Tanzania

This memento always reminds me of the wonderful time we spent in the Serengeti some years ago, A never to be forgotten experience, especially the Hot Air Balloon ride.
A friend posted a poignant poem on facebook today to her toddler son who drowned in their swimming pool 37 years ago. Her husband was mowing the lawn in preparation for a big family gathering for Christmas and she was visiting me to fetch a painting we had been keeping for her.. He didn't realise that the pool gate was open and their child drowned. I still feel that knot in my stomach...if only we hadn't stood chatting for ages, would this have happened??
