Closure?

Today the man who killed my friend has been found guilty of her murder. I didn't think I would care about the verdict, but I do. He was a serving police officer, someone who we trust and turn to in times of fear and danger. He didn't protect his wife, he killed her. She was tiny, slim and pretty. Funny and loyal. Since this awful crime, her dad has died, without seeing justice for his girl. I find this very difficult to deal with. Not having, or wanting, a religion there is no comfort of an afterlife. Feeling of inadequacy haunt me, so many if only's, but nothing will change the fact that he killed her and she is dead. Jill Davies my first best friend x

    I'm sure we all want retribution rather than forgiveness; it is our nature. I had a lovely cousin who was murdered in Canada, and I have no idea what sentence was handed out to his killer. No closure.

    I would love to be the "forgiving" sort, sadly I'm not built that way. Not when it comes to big stuff.

Aberystwyth

 We've just had a few nights in Aberystwyth and it was splendid! Much knitting, reading and dog walking Oh I do love a harbour! The slightly fishy diesel smell is one I love. Ok I know that's weird but this is me and my love of odd smells. The smell of wet dog is less pleasant! Luckily the fab cottage we stayed at has an outdoor dog shower, Luxury! We found  several new beaches to explore. This one has a lime kiln! And this is a photo from inside the lime kiln where I was sheltering from the rain and hail, Gotta love the Welsh weather. We also had a dusting of snow and sat outside and drank coffee, a proper mixed bag. I can't wait for our next trip.

Holiday fun

 A lovely time was had in cold but sunny Wales. Much sea swimming-dogs and coffee drinking- me and him. Lots of driftwood was collected to make things with, not sure what yet! Much knitting and reading, Pretty perfect really. Aberystwyth front, splendid as always. Back to healthy eating and more walking now. No more treats in cafes for the dogs either!

Decembrrrrrrrr!

 Blimey it's cold. Didn't stop the dogs having a canal swim this afternoon though.  That's them in the distance!  Me and husband chops decided against a swim in the murky Grand Union.    Had a lovely outing to Delapre Abbey yesterday with my youngest daughter, Good food, Unique gifts and lots of giggles. A real treasure of a place that we're lucky to have on our doorstep. Have given up trying to book a holiday, too many lies from cottage owners. Which is very sad really.  Real Baklava from a little Turkish bakery, Truly delicious. God I'm greedy and boring!
