Katrina, don't worry - my 'do I don't I' pile is more from people who I haven't hear from at all for several years, but I know they're out there somewhere... So, perhaps Olivia's comment of stirring the embers is one I need to take up with some. Watch this space. Great set of comments - thanks!

I just got sent this African proverb - how apt! "Genuine love and friendship is like hot charcoal that is covered by ashes; when you return to it much later and poke it a little it is rekindled and reactivated anew. (Africa)" Am I allowed 2 bites at the cherry? I just got sent this African proverb - how apt!

I have cards from you in my stack with the distinctive Alison writing :-) I remember going through my entire correspondence from birth to 30 before I moved to South Africa. It was like therapy LOL! I came across a meal plan from my Granny the other day, hidden in a recipe book, from one time we must have all visited. I remember her and my mum always spending hours discussing what everyone would eat for the next week for hours on our stays! I could almost feel her in the room! Though it was horrible remembering that she was not there. My other Grandma had this habit of leaving postcards and notes in her books, so whenever I read her books (there are a LOT) I get these lovely little surprises. Having someone's writing, it's so much more evocative than email, almost like you can smell them there! xxx Lovely.
