Hi Julie,
it was so good to read your opening ‘share’ and gosh it is so hard for us all and I do sympathize and understand totally. I too miss terribly our social interaction with people and find on walks the odd person nearly falling down a cliff not to be near me, when normally we are embracing even strangers with a cheerful goodmorning. one woman on my walk last week looked at me as if I was Dracula and I said so humorously and she was not amused and quite aggressive ………. holly molly how long do we have to put up with this reaction from people. Like you to have friends and near strangers give you welcoming ‘hello’, a hug and a kiss on each cheek is the essence of life ……….. and yes I too had such a bad day recently I was crying over any little upset, which normally I can cope with casting my optimistic net over the problem. A walk in the garden resolves all upsets too and especially to be able to pick some fresh produce. thanks for sharing Julie and if you ever want to pop in and have a ‘picnic’ in our garden, you will be most welcome and we have produce to spare and would be delighted to share with you. ciao ciao, Susan PS I love your recipes and am going to make the kumera and pepper salad tonight.
