Shadows

What a Beautiful Rose this is, I’ve always loved it. My old neighbour Mrs Cockayne gave it to me. It’s been neglected over the years since I’ve had it, but again it comes up beautifully. (Possibly because we buried our dear cat below it)
Wonderful morning today, meeting up with cousins, lots of them, it’s been a family tradition for quite a few years, arranged by the oldest (I think) family member coming over from England this time he bought a friend and also his son and his wife, and we just all got together to enjoy each others company, catching up on ‘how are you?’ we don’t all get to see each other often if at all in between - so it’s very special. I’m not sure if a spoke quite to everybody, but almost.

Thank you everyone who wished me well and commented , starred or faved my special day yesterday. I can’t believe I’ve blipped every day for 5000 days following, even when I was frightened and poorly, but you were always there for me encouraging me. Hopefully all those things are behind me. Thank you again for your encouragement, day by day.
