Moments

Instead of the mundane, I thought I’d share some recent beautiful moments that have sparkled in amongst the push and pull of our daily lives. Reminders of the good things in life – past, present and times to come.

Firstly, this…. my Mother’s Day gift from Andrew…. quite excited to try these! Every mouthful will be a moment to savour in the knowledge that youngest son has created them. *Does a little dance* These will definitely gratify our hunger for sweet and savoury things.

And then there’s these….. Dawn’s Mum’s liqueur glasses…. full, and likely to be frequently full, in memory of Joyce. We shall certainly enjoy using these, remembering good times gone by. These will help us put a zing into our evenings, won’t they?

And, unexpectedly, in the post today, a parcel…….. I think there’s something in my eye, folks! How wonderful that my Goddaughter, Liz, should find the time to think of me when she has her hands full with baby Arthur. These lovely coasters will remind us that we are forever loved. *Gets a hanky out to wipe away a tear or two...*

All good, don’t you think? All things to savour against the backdrop of our very busy days.

Today’s backdrop was simply supporting the Kenilworth Sleaths as they prep their house for sale; a bit of admin on Mum’s care home and the Wednesday Quiz. Busy, busy, but a successful and productive day. And enjoyable too.

Take care everyone. God bless. Hope you also find some sparkles in your lives to help you through.
