I have a post set, the promised post about sharing our decorations. But importantly I need to share this one first.

As I write this I am conscious of how blessed I am to have the friends I have. We may not see each other from year to year, but they are always there in the background.

On Friday another unexpected package arrived. It was from my dear friend Mary, and in it were these….

It made me cry, because they are not here, yes, but also because it was such a lovely kind thing to do. Because it was from people who understand.

So now they are in pride of place on our tree. And every now and then we, and Elfie, hear Harley bark in the garden.

You have to believe you see.
