The beauty of the tiniest flower

Today a parcel arrived from the Isles of Scilly. It was a box full of these tiny scented narcissi. What a lovely present and a very touching thank you.

In other news: it's been an exhausting day.

Guy, next door, is very ill now. I spent a lot of the morning trying to help Margret negotiate the vagaries of the health service. The hospice nurse was a star, but sadly it will be a different person each day.

This afternoon the Humshaugh Mothers' Union came and I showed them photos from Rajasthan to illustrate some of the different religions in India; "In the land of the sacred cow". It was a full house of 12.

Back next door for a quick check and we are all hoping for a long night's sleep. Everyone needs it.
