Sad

I heard the saddest news last week. My friend and fellow blogger, Woo, telephoned to tell me that her lovely partner, Alan, had died unexpectedly of an asthma attack a few days before. I met him when they both came to my sale in April and he was the kind of man you wish all men were like. He was interested and interesting, just great company and he clearly adored Woo, as she did him. They were just delightful to be around. So my heart is breaking for her and the pain she is going through at this time. Life is so unfair sometimes. Pin It

Goodnes me - what shocking news Dons. It makes you hold those that you love just that little bit tighter doesn't it? I've nipped over to Woo's blog to leave a message. The heads up came from gigibird via you so thank you.
By the way, your parcel was posted out to you last Thursday!! Something nice to look forward to I hope.
