However I have not - yet - commented for fear of being what I call a "dumper. My definition of said person is somebody who professes to be sympathethic, then manages to turn the whole thing around to be about them. You have my absolute sympathy. My mother's house is for sale to pay her care home extortionate fees. While,for financial reasons, it will be a relief to sell it, I still enjoy going there. Memories are strong. However I keep telling myself that we keep them with us.

I felt quite teary reading it… Will be thinking of you and know you will make a new morning routine. xxxEmhttp://theyogaconnection.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-70701525980904443802016-03-27T04:30:31.432+01:002016-03-27T04:30:31.432+01:00So glad to hear your sweet little brown mare is ho...So glad to hear your sweet little brown mare is home safe. Mine is recovering from a nasty cough, & is feeling much better thanks to copious amounts of vitamin c & honey that thanks to Mr Schiller's marvellous damn plan she politely allows me to feed to her 3 syringes full at a time. Much to the amazement of the fellow grazers who all think it's impossible to give any horse any sort of drench without an assistant to do the hanging on & the keeping still & the head down. They are really quite astonished to watch Storm give me her nose, open her mouth, happily suck on her syringe then stand untied while I refill.<br />Much love to your little mare for a full & quick recovery xxCMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919012576499901400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-12109263902769060242016-03-25T16:43:04.579+00:002016-03-25T16:43:04.579+00:00I am so glad the brown mare is home safely.

The thought of your stepfather moving away has made me sad... your driving by and not going in. I, on the other hand, am anticipating a change. The house next door to ours has just been refurbished and someone - who? - will be moving in and living cheek by jowl with us for who knows how many years to come. Will they be friendly? Obnoxious? Quiet? Reclusive? Will they have children and dogs, or be solitary cat people like ourselves? The anticipation is something that is simultaneously exciting and stressful. Like all change...<br /><br />Thinking of you.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697295230446820295noreply@blogger.com
