Mono Monday - ‘Memory’

We had a really good turnout for the monthly Monday lunch at The Exchange. There were seventeen of us today, and the choices on our special menu were all excellent. I had a mushroom and herb risotto, followed by a fresh berry pavlova, both of which were delicious.

Back at home I composed a letter to the solicitor dealing with Mum’s estate in order to enclose two deeds which have been signed and witnessed as part of winding up the family trust. I’ve posted that off, though there’s still a bit more paperwork and procedure to get through before it’s all finally wrapped up and I become the registered legal owner of the bungalow.

Thank you to sk for being our Mono Monday challenge host for October. The theme this week is ‘Memory’. A particular scent can evoke memories from a long time ago. Mum always loved the smell of lavender, and my blip shows her last bottle of lavender Eau de Toilette. Right up to the end of her life she always dressed nicely, co-ordinating her clothes and accessories. Each morning we would choose together what outfit she was going to wear that day. I would hang the clothes on the outside of her wardrobe and spray them with lavender, a fragrance which will always bring back the precious memory of Mum.
