A decade on.

I was talking to my Spanish friend, Ana earlier about where we were a decade ago. We were at The Marriot watching the news unfold about the Twin Towers with complete strangers, all transfixed on the television high on the wall. Sure it'll be a very poignant day of remembrance tomorrow and whilst I don't tend to talk about anything but gardening on here I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge it and all the deaths since.

On another sad note, Tom, Luke's step dad's dog died today. He was a good old boy, a handsome black labrador who excelled at accompanying Chris on his shooting trips (Chris is a wildfowler) and I think Chris would have given him a viking funeral if he could have as befitted his courage. Her certainly was a brave and lovely dog.

There is much sadness in the world but so much joy too, another day dawns and brings with it hope - new life and the promise of future happiness.
