Just as I was feeling really sorry for myself, unable to attend my M-I-L’s memorial service, I receive a thoughtful RAOK card from Christina of Between the Stitches. Perfect timing, funny how that happens. Thank you, Christina.
I’ve booked a couple of things to look forward to. First is a watercolour flower painting workshop in November with my daughter, two exchange students, a co-worker and a friend. These flowers, taken in the garden of artist Otto Niemeyer, in Germany, will be the subject of my painting. Then a group of us bought tickets to see the play Beauty and the Beast, one of my favourite musicals, in December. An old friend from Northern Ireland had a saying, something like – to be happy you need someone to love, something to work for and something to look forward to. I think it makes sense.
