Gratitude 

I’ve been contemplating gratitude. I have so much – and am so grateful.

A friend of ours has cancer. A brain tumour has been removed – now radiotherapy begins. Once that is complete they begin to treat his lung cancer. A widower, he had no family until he remarried a widow with no children. Thankfully they have taken him to their hearts and are supporting him.

I cherish the time with our family. We are blessed to have four grandchildren of various ages – and we see them regularly. It’s hard to believe that our daughter and son were once their age! Photographs like this serve as a reminder that there is still a lot of life to come.

I’m not ready to show you the progress on the Michaelmas Throw – instead I’ll just show you something with which I’ve been playing.

There’ll be more about this once the other is finished – and that won’t be long!
