1) As if standing guard over the intersection, perched on the top of the lamposts at each of the four corners, were birds: three on one, four on another, five on the next, and six on the last.

2) After a busy weekend which concluded with me taking K to the airport, so that he could get on a flight to New Zealand, it was good to go home to my parents’. Once there, there was a comfy sofa, dinner on a tray, a glass of chilled white wine, plenty of hugs, and loving care surrounding me.

3) I’ve been overwhelmed by the love and support we’ve been shown by everyone we’ve seen over the weekend. We’re truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. Although K is away, the kids and I are most certainly not alone. Thank you xx
