Two life cycles, 14 years in all, is in process of completion. This is the last home of mine / ours which Mother visited (Spring 1992). Leaving here, putting family & personal history into boxes, has brought this all closer & rendered it keener. I look forward to unpacking this in Dorset. Meanwhile, yesterday I packed a book inscribed "Given to me by my Mother Edie on July 19th. 1992". This was 3 days before she died and, considering the subject of the book, I had a deeper insight into Mum's thinking prior to her flying away.
Now, I'm beat.
