Towards the Rainbow

Scilla, Emma, Paul, Mary, Georgia, Hannah
It’s been a wonderful goddaughters day, the three London based ones Emma Grove, Scilla Monck, Hannah Haynes along with Georgia Millad video connecting from West Australia uniquely combining for one of those ‘memories for ever’ times. Aided and abetted by Richard Mapp whose ten days stay specially over from New Zealand has been another joy for ever.
Yesterday Sarah Williams visited from Pembrokeshire saying she hadn’t been in Winterwell Road for 44 years (doesn’t say much for us as London hosts, but we do see her in Mathri). And there was a wonderful video link with her twin brother Simon Youmg (usually in Perth WA but in Wyoming just now).
Earlier in the week sister Ann and bro-in-law John were here from Leeds and so were Mark (our dear former foster son) and Katie his wife. Both the above brought wonderful cake. And if it wasn’t obvious already it may have dawned by now with cake refs that, yes, it’s Paul writing the blog again.
The last couple of days have been marked by the exceptional activities and fine services provided by palliative care teams in this part of Lambeth – we count ourselves very well helped in difficult times.
Lots more to say about moving towards the rainbow. But that’s maybe best for next week.

Hello Mary,
You won’t remember me but I was at the workshop you held at Carew Castle some years ago. I want to thank you for starting me off as a storyteller. I didn’t know it was something I could do until you showed the way. I have so much enjoyed practising what you showed me.
I am thinking of you on your journey towards the rainbow.
With affectionate good wishes,
Christian

Mary- you touched my life more than you will ever know. You gave me the confidence to write. Thank you.
