1 To London on the train, masses of white May blossom in the hedgerows. Reminded me of Mum and Dad who used to drive around the Cornish lanes at this time of year to note where the blossom was so that they could go back later to collect the sloes to make sloe gin.

2 I used the time on the train to sew up the shrug I have knitted for Tabitha and sewed in the label I ordered online on which is written, “Handmade with love especially for you :)”
Shrug for Tabitha
3 I’m not a fan of the underground – crowded, noisy, impersonal – but I spotted this poster from the escalator and then witnessed just such ‘an act of kindness’. A man left the tube train as we did but left his glasses in their case on the seat. A young woman noticed, called him and through the closing doors, just managed to pass them to him. Brilliant!

Thank you Sally, we need to be reminded that there is “good” in almost all humans and be encouraging in looking for it and in making those little differences that can become so special. Again my thanks dear friend! 🙂 xx

It’s my hobby to look for the good in things and in people! 🙂
And I find it!

If you go back to their facebook Sally, and read what they just wrote to me about Christina (because of the blog I wrote for them) I started crying it was so darn beautiful and full of love !!!!!! 🙂

Yes we are! When we volunteered in South Africa, building a classroom and working with the children, the two teachers adopted me as their Sister (They were sisters themselves) and made me Honorary Gogo (Granny) to their children!
‘All sisters under the skin’ as they used to say to me. 🙂

I love your story and their adoption, and yes it is true what they say. A most fundamental truth Sally, and a wonderful one as well!:) xx
