Little House in the Paddy

Good bye to Kirkby Stephen (for now)

Just a short note to tell you that I’m leaving our Kirkby Stephen house this afternoon. The flight back to Japan is tomorrow, which coincidentally is the 49th day after Iain’s passing. In Japan we regard the day as the end of mourning. It feels as if Iain had known about this and had planned everything for me accordingly.

I’ll start working as soon as I get back to Japan. With my jet-lag the blog post might be a bit irregular but I'll keep writing!

Wishing you all the best.

Edera....

Some things happen 'out of the blue' sometimes. Completely unexpected, at the time with no explanation.
Some may be small things, but still make you 'take stock' and wonder why this has suddenly arisen. It might be days, weeks or even years later, when something happens to make sense of it all...as you have just done.

Safe journey

Nice to meet you on Sunday Edera. May the sprinklings of light which helped you through this difficult period stay with you as you travel onward. You remain in our thoughts.
