I was going to do a post on the best way to cook a roast spud in a bonfire but that all seems a bit irrelevant, not to say irreverent, as my Uncle Alan passed away about half an hour ago.
He had been in ill health after a series of heart attacks and strokes, and had been in a nursing home for the last several months.
He was a nuggety little Aussie bloke, a bit cheeky, an ex- navy man
AND [ thanks to that naval service ] a beautiful knitter. I remember many years ago seeing an unfinished lacy baby layette of great intricacy that he had made. I wonder if my aunt still has it at the back of the linen press ? I hope so.
anyway he had a very long life, it was well lived and he leaves a lot of people behind with good memories ... can't ask for more than that
Normal posting WILL resume soon.
Hugs my friend.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that. It has been that sort of week here too.
