Cardiff Bay

Coming back to Wales, it's been a comfort but not a surprise to find the expressions of how much my sister meant to so many others, as well as her immediate friends and family, and how much she'll be missed. Her life was an intricate patchwork with her two sons as its bright centre, and we've spent much of the past couple of days with them.

Thanks for all the sympathetic comments over the past few days - it's quite overwhelmed me that so many people, all part of this wonderful community of blippers, are there to support each other in difficult times.
