Thoughts of joys to come.

Before Christmas I mentioned going to the funeral of a dear old friend who lived nearby.

This morning we went to visit his wife, a lady of 94 with little sight left but with tremendous spirit.
She insisted on making coffee for us and whilst she did so I looked at the pictures on the wall.
Our friend had been a first rate photographer for several decades and was still winning prizes at Grange Photographic Society into his 90s.
Here is his photograph of Fritillaria meleagris (snakes head fritillary) which I remember he made into a delightful greeting card.
It was a moment of good memories from the past combined with the joy of knowing that they will be here again in a few weeks.
