Friends know


...what to do when it's a cold, very wet day, and you're trying hard not to be irrationally upset by recent events, when you need that extra little bit of TLC, when surprises like a delivery of flowers and chocolate are guaranteed to deliver a message of comfort and support.....




Ordered from far away in hot sticky Toronto, and sent all the way from the Channel island of Jersey, a gift of gorgeously-scented freesias, my absolute favourites, and a neat red box of chocolates have brought that message home in the nicest possible way.




Thank you, Shelagh.
