In Memory

Last year and the beginning of this year has been the most awful time for each and everyone of us. And when the amount of 100.000 lives have been lost, it is so upsetting and emotional to here. The loss of someone's mother, father, son, daughter, grandmother, grandfather, Aunt, Uncle, girlfriend, boyfriend or friends. I will never forget the sacrifices of those NHS staff that have also lost their lives, and those loved ones in care homes. I am going to hopefully grow lots of flowers this year in my garden, and I would like to dedicate it to all of those that have sadly loss their lives. Nature goes on, but it has a way of healing you and comforting you. I hope that in time, the seeds will grow, the flowers will reach for the sun, the colour, scent, butterflies, bees and the birds will soothe and comfort and will always remind me of those loved ones.

    That's a lovely idea @Jacqueline29
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.

    @Jacqueline29 that is a very nice sentiment .. i will keep that thought with me while I will begin re-landscaping our garden this Spring. Will surely incorporate some flowering plants to remember those 'Absent Friends'
