….”there is a season, turn, turn turn”……we are very much reminded of this Yardbird’s song of the 60’s at the moment. It is nearing the end of autumn and as the days get shorter and the tree’s lose more of their leaves we are forced to again ponder upon life and it’s meaning. We have always known that our job here depended on the extent of “the autumn of our employers lives”…..but we are never quite ready for the eventual outcome. Mr N. passed away suddenly last week in the early hours of the morning. We hadn’t really expected that as the focus was on Mrs N. who now has 24 hour care and is completely bedridden. It seems to have come about very quickly and yet as we look at the rapidly changing season we can’t help make comparisons. The only constant is that nothing ever stays the same and so as we deal with what we have to do here, we are also thinking about what is next for us, not knowing quite when, but in all probability sooner rather than later.
Today we are heading up to London to catch up with darling Kiwi friends Wayne and Eve and looking forward to them coming back here for the night for some good Kiwi conversation, some good French wine and a few laughs. Tomorrow Aunty Patty returns from her adventures in Manchester, Liverpool and Paris before she heads back to NZ on Sunday………much love xxxxx
