When I was a young wife and Mum, my friends and I made picnics that were a sort of pot luck, where everyone brought their favourite dish for lunch and all the children ran about flying kites and so on. Well, it wasn't quite like that today, I made a Weight Watchers picnic and a friend and I sat by the river in this glorious sunshine to eat our lunch. It was a peaceful time, and a great start to the weekend.
As light as the atmosphere was with us I am always aware of her illness which is terminal. I have never met such a brave young woman. A casual meal, carried to an outdoor setting, the simplicity of it gave her so much joy, as it was a surprise for her. I could only try and guess her thoughts.
