I bought a tiny silver box and filled it with #ashes just a few teaspoons. When we bury the wooden box a little of him stays with me enclosed in silver engraved with his name. Don.
It's a good job I don't want to go to America - my views #clash so resoundingly with their government's that I'd be arrested at the border, and my digestion wouldn't cope well with prison food.
Photographs are a blessing when I would prefer my final memory of him to remain a #blur Today he'd be 90 and it's been four years since he died, but he's still remembered with tears.
I hear quite well each morning with hearing aids in place, but come the evening, sound's a #blur if I can't see your face, so when you don't enunciate I am too tired to concentrate!
She #sublimates her hunger for children by fostering & social workers send her all their hardest cases, so many they fail to keep track. Her house over-full, she faces a #conundrum - foster or feast? Surely the authorities won't miss one, and she has many mouths to feed.
Their once proud #escutcheon bears two marks of shame nothing can eradicate, and we know who to blame - those second sons, those playboys who profit from their name but give no thought to anything but how to play the game.
I miss his smile welcoming me home, his voice calling me in from the garden, the space he filled echoes empty now and the nights are oddly silent without his #sonorous snores.
Today she makes her first speech and they vote for Year 6 President, the #bellwether of ten-year-olds. 'Even if I don't win it'll boost my confidence,' she says. Whichever way the #caprice of the voters goes, in my eyes she is already a winner.
The world may be going to Hell in a handbasket, but there are still beautiful sunsets, autumn colours, and birdsong. And in any #eventuality, somewhat may, there will always be love.
He died quite unexpectedly after hours of laboured breath - #perhaps he chose his moment preferring a quick death to years of slow decline in body and in mind.
In Tenerife, a favourite treat was #churros made of batter #extruded from a piping bag into a pan of hot oil, cut into lengths, smothered in cinnamon sugar and dipped into thick hot chocolate. A very fattening snack, but oh so yummy!
