Four months after discovering she had a brain tumour, my mum died on Saturday afternoon. It’s been and it continues to be a terribly difficult time but I’d like to thank you all of you who left kind comments and sent well wishes during this time. They helped.

Been looking through old photos a lot recently. That’s me, that is. I laughed for about an hour afterwards.

So excited am I by the entrance of flowers and buds and daylight and smells and tweeting, I’ve taken to singing “Spring, spring, spring, spring, spring, spring…” to the tune of Jingle Bells.
