Life goes on

I suddenly noticed today how far on the early spring bulbs are. I love the early flowers, even though they remind me of the times when my mum and dad died. I remember Matthew, who was 5 then, picking a bunch of snowdrops and asking me to put them in grandpa's grave.

I got sad news today: my aunty has died. A lovely lady, very caring and kind, who was so good to me when I was a kid. She was very hard-working and stoical, a real gem.

On a lighter note, I knew Christmas must be over when I saw Easter eggs in the supermarket today.

Ah, the cycle of life.
