I am always happy to keep Piper company. She is such a sweetie, and now that we have had to say a final goodbye to our dear old Moggies recently, it was lovely to have Piper cuddled up on my lap purring.
I also love Jin's flat with this wonderful bay window with its flowing filmy curtains, and it's close proximity to Mt Eden village and a short bus ride to Auckland City central. Always a treat.
Being Friday I was thrilled that Sarah at Sew Love Tea Do had a Sewcial evening planned and I had booked myself in.
Treat number one. It was a great evening meeting other sewers, knitters and crafters. I had also fossicked in the nearby charity shops scoring a few bargains.
Saturday was ANZAC Day. I avoided all the public gatherings and watch memorial services on TV. Then my dear friend Steph came through for lunch and an afternoon of stitching and crafting.
I continued with my new Autumn ripple blanket. A commission for Jin's birthday in July.
Sunday I paid my tribute to Daddy Don, up at the war memorial museum. Don was Mums first husband. They came to NZ as newly weds. My brother was born, war broke out, Don signed up for the NZ army, he was killed at Casino in Italy, mum returned to UK, and eventually married Dons brother, my Dad who was in the RAF. I was born after they returned to NZ.
So ANZAC Day always has special significance for me, as it does for many folks.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. 🇳🇿🇬🇧❤️❤️
I'm going to leave it there. To carry on with entertaining times following these memories just doesn't feel right.
I hope if you have special people that you remember at this time, or on Remembrance Day in UK, that you can remember and pay tribute in a way that comforts and consoles your soul.
Abundant blessings, and love, Trills.xx❤️❤️
