Oh, thank you. I'm not sure when I'll have time to stop up to Cumbria next. I'm glad to hear- well, it's relieving news. Bless you for going.
I'm glad to think that the funeral helped; I'd feared for you that it might be so difficult as to be damaging. Your family has been thoroughly changed by the events of this conflict, and that must be very, very hard.
I'm perfectly alright. Still busier than one would wish, but things are easing a bit. And one needs only remember the press of events overnight Saturday to regain perspective.
And I do remember. It was such a comfort to set up in Pomona's greenhouse. She'd have been appalled, of course, what we were forced to do to so many of her plantings (but I suppose few of them were hers--that's a helpful thought). She'd have wanted to assist, though, and of course she'd have understood the need and would have done whatever was needed.
She'd be so pleased about Tilda, too. And, truly, her farm was invaluable as a staging area.
