Thank you so much, dear David - that is really appreciated 🫂 I think I have inherited traces of our local limestone and millstone grit in my DNA... from my darling mother's side of the family. Love winging back to you both 🕊️💜🌿🙋‍♀️💚🫂

Oh, thank you so much, dear friend David. You were not to know! We are heading towards the final times - in my Love's current form, for he is a Buddhist... The staff in his new 'home' are truly wonderful and keep me strong. My love to you & your dear ones 🫂💜🌿🌼🙋‍♀️💜

Actually, I've just discovered that in these 'ere parts, it's termed 'Amber' palliative care, Helen. Hopefully, a gentle pathway... All warmest wishes & floral hugs 🌼🌿🌸xx

In the language of flowers, the Zinnia, native to Mexico, symbolises friendship and loyalty. It conveys sentiments such as “I miss you,” “you are in my thoughts,” or “where there is love there can be no separation.” #FlowersOnFriday #FlowerFridayFamily

Sorry for such a tardy reply, dear Venetia - and I do hope you and your friend had an uplifting chat (and plenty of hugs). Am just emerging temporarily from Overwhelm Alley myself - hence tardiness. My Love is currently safe in hospital, thankfully 🙏 Take good care, hugs 🤗💜xxx

There's absolutely no need to rush with the post - as my (Cumbrian) Grandpa would say, a treat deferred is even better! 😍Sending love & hugs in the astral post to you 💌🤗xxx

Ah yes, that's a very good point about all the watering, especially if you have a hosepipe ban in place! 😬🚿I'm just slightly regretting trying my hand at growing cucumbers & courgettes this year 🥒😅🤗xxx

Thank you for the kind thoughts and wishes from you both, dear David 🤗My Beloved's next CT scan results are due next week, always an angst-ful time; 'scanxiety' as a friend terms it. Hope you & Libby have a lovely day - we are rainswept at the mo, but sunshine is promised! X 🌧️🌦️🌈🌅🌸💜🙋‍♀️
