Some of you may remember my blog, 'Midsummer Poppies', I went back to the field where I took the pics, havent been back there since Mum died, I made a point and went tonight, as it is exactly a year since I discovered the field of poppies, I went same time of day, early evening, and it was very much like last year, a warm hazy summer evening, I took mums dog with me, the poppy field is now a field of barley, a field of gold, but tthat is quite poignant, as Mums funeral song was Eva Cassidys Fields of Gold, it was the only song we could play, it meaant so much, I couldnt even write a poem and express it any better than the song, it was Mum, she loved the fields and walking her dog, so I wasnt too upset that the field of poppies was now a field of Barley, just tinged in a golden hue, it was beautiful, I sat there a while in remembrance, and felt happy, as it evoked so many happy memories, Ive put the two pics side by side, the poppies taken this day last year, the barley taken today, its quite remarkable, the same skyline, same field, but the contrast is amazing......

I would like to thank you all for the kind words and support that have been shown over the past year, I sometimes feel a bit guilty that I havent logged on in a while and offered my support in return, but you are all never far from my thoughts, my mum lost her battle and I know so many of you are still battling against this disease, and sometimes I just feel I dont know what to say, but I want to say that I send my love, hugs and healing thoughts to you all every day..
