Contrasts...

Breakfast with my parents and sister & brother in law to mark my mum's 80th birthday

This is my sister, mum & me - not sure why we look so serious

Then home to change to go to a funeral

it would be unfair to say Barbara was a friend since for more than 10 years it was more than that

our daughters had sleep overs and went on holiday with each other

we coordinated our time off work to maximise school holiday cover

her funeral was this lunch time and this was the floral tribute from her granddaughter Holly - Gizmo her last dog complete with muddy paws

Mum's party later - she's having a little do at the local
