Out Of Africa, wow, has to be one of my favourite movies of all time. K x

A sexy beast, me, good gracious, well I live in hope!! I am loving Tigger. Weather blessing us today so top down again. Must look out for a Tigger keyring to give car as a prezzie. Have to admit there is a certain type of smile (ok smirk) that plays on my lips as I sit at the traffic lights in the sunshine. Smirk was quickly wiped off face when I couldnt find the petrol lock to fill it at the garage. Completely gave the game away as to my being total novice at this sports car game. Must try harder.....

So sorry he has the photos, but as you say, nobody can ever take those memories. All best Karon x

Happy Birthday to your Mum, she looks great. Now fried ravioli, never heard of it. Miss you Nan, get in touch. K

This is a reply to everyone who took the time and made the effort to comment on my post on Friday. It means so very much to me that this post touched other people. If you are in the unenviable situation of having a loved one fading away from you, being snatched by the horrors of time, I offer this post as hope. Hang in there, a glimmer of love and happiness is in there, somewhere deep inside. Even if all this fades tomorrow I know I have got my Mum back in my heart and in my life. I have etched this image of her this week into my heart like a tattoo carved into stone, I will never forget it. So thanks blogging friends, many of you were with me last year when I was really struggling with the fall out from my Mums situation. I thank you for being there, for listening when I moaned on and didnt know what to do. May you never find yourself in the same place, but know that if you are, there are friends out there to hold your hand and keep you strong. love Karon x

Idgy would love that, Hank as an otter, her dream pet, right up there with the ubiquitous meerkat and of course a lemur. Maybe the lemur is for me! K x
