Good and bad news

Hello All
Sorry about the mess that is my blog. have tried to put a new header picture on and everything has gone wonky and I haven't had time to work out what has gone wrong.
The last couple of days have been frantic
The Exhibition this weekend has gone really well, with a good turn out, lots of interest and participation in the walks. representatives of  other groups wanting to be partners with us. Tea and cakes went well and made a bit of money for the society.

 Well that's the good news.

 All this has been overshadowed by the sudden death of my dear nephew. My sister's middle son, aged 47, died in bed on friday morning at his wife's side. Totally unexpected and we are all in shock. My sister's boys and my two daughters have always been extremely close. As children they ran as a pack and continue to be close and care about each other in their fourties. I feel for my sister and can't imagine how she must feel. All I can do is be there for her, her daughter in law, her sons and her grandchildren and of course for my girls who are incredibly upset.

 Enough for now
Back soon

  17. So sorry to hear the sad news Gill - there really is nothing else to say - no words of comfort help at this stage. All I can ay is hang on in there - time is not a great healer, as folk are wont to say, but distance perhaps softens the blow. Glad the fabric arrived safely. Glad to get rid of it - more space in the drawer.
