Hi Kath - sometimes my diary does get over-complicated and I question why I take on so much but I'm having a good time. I've set aside June and July when I won't be going away and I can focus on the garden.
You weren't speaking out of turn and you aren't the first of Jane's friends who said something similar. Truth is Jane was very jealous and would have hated my being with someone else but life goes on and this is not a dress rehearsal. Jane's death has emphasised to me that none of us have a minute to waste.
Many thanks for your kind thoughts. Steve xx
