Penny Farthing, Two Stone Lions

and lots of reflections in the window of Chapter 24 on Knockhundred Row.

I am sad today. My very dear cousin Barbara, my closest childhood and teenage friend, is nearing the end of her Earthly life. I had mentioned her when she was first diagnosed several months ago.
Our hopes were raised about six weeks ago when there seemed the chance of a reprieve for a year or two. That was not to be.
Our prayers are that she will be peaceful and not suffer too much in the remaining time.
