Her nurse said it did her a lot of good
It was also good for me to be beside the seaside
I haven't spent nearly enough time at the beach this year
Been fully occupied looking after people and ponies
But next year...
Next year I will make the time to swim, kayak, ride...

Sorry, I did not seek sympathy
And actually it wasn't sad because if I hadn't invited Mutti and if we hadn't had such a kind, ethical Christmas. she would have died without us having had the chance finally to be close

It was a lovely Christmas
Very special
I was so pleased we were finally like mother and daughter
Mutti returned home to York on Dec 29th
And my brother found her dead at home on Jan 6th
Sorry, you just reminded me

I decided to have an ethical Christmas
No expensive bronze-fearhered turkey
No champagne
An organic chicken and fizzy white wine...
And the money I saved I gave to a family in Africa to buy chickens

In 2004 I invited Mutti (mother) for Christmas
We had never had a good relationship
We were both to blame
But I wanted to change that so...
