Hello again… I’m so glad to be back here among friends. I can’t tell you what a huge comfort your many messages have been to me over the last month, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Everything culminated in this last weekend’s farewell to my darling mother; a few days of sadness and laughter, tears and memories, spending time with loved ones who are usually too far away. The funeral in the little country church, the choir, the woven casket smothered in early summer blooms and yellow roses… the singing of ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’, the voice of her youngest little great grandson chattering to himself while the vicar spoke his comforting words, everything was a perfect tribute to a wonderful brave and loving woman. Her passing has left a huge gap in my life, and I need to go on, to continue to strive to make her proud.
So I’ll be back here very soon. There are all sorts of exciting projects in the offing for me to share with you! There is one weekend left of the Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios and I will be about on the Saturday if you would like to call in.
Thank you again, and I’ll be back very soon…x

Dear Penny,
This was a beautiful post and struck quite a chord with me as I also just lost my mother a few months ago and like you and your mum, we were also very close. You last sentence about her passing leaving a huge gap in your life is my heart’s sentiment exactly. I didn’t know how to say it until now.
May you find peace and healing with all your loving memories of your beloved mother….
Chris
