Hiya FM, I was totally shocked at how keen people were to help considering i only floated the idea on Monday and mentioned it to a few friends!! When we saw the forecast - we're further north than you are - i nearly called it off but my head was already there so i decided to go ahead regardless. As one of my friends said to me - a morning in the rain for them and their kids is nothing in comparison to what we've been going through the last 8 months and will continue to go through. Several others who have found out what we were up to want to go and plant some more. Makes me realise how much of an impact my darling little cutie had on everyone he met grin

.

how are you doing - have you managed to avoid the floods down there?!

Yesterday was so uplifting. Around 18 adults and at least the same number of children turned out on possibly the wettest day of the year so far to plant daffodils in Gregor's memory in a local wood. It felt quite therapeutic and the shared love felt for our wee boy was immense. I did have my doubts yesterday but am so glad we went ahead. We're all looking forward to seeing the fruits of our labour in the springtime. I think yesterday was the first time in 8 months i could truly say i have looked forward to something. smile

Thanks Ilike.

I do like Ruth and Eamon, but that hair is just wrong. It suited her blonde, imho!

Thinking of you and Oliver today Everlong xxx

You can also have the keys to my house if you fancy it.

Has Ruth had another new 'do? I saw that she'd dyed it dark brown and it was far too harsh for her.
