Thanks, Susi, for your comment and inspiration for this post! I updated the happy snap. Much better, don't you think?
BalasHapusThat's me in the purple - it looks as though I do need to eat more kale and less of the other stuff lined up with my fab sisters.....Seriously though, as the years clock up and we get to the stage of our children being older than we were when we first met at school, the memories are still clear and vibrant and I feel truly privileged. Love your work, Sare. xf
