It is lovely now as Gran would have adored the character that she is. <br /><br />Thanks to Shabby Blogs for the patchwork quilt. I love it as I feel it sums up the title of this blog quite well. The patchwork of life and all that. At times it feels like there are holes in it everywhere - I just stitch those back up as and when!Writing Life As It Ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118742001205454069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992698951678842054.post-64544115282653894582013-05-23T12:37:07.774+01:002013-05-23T12:37:07.774+01:00Lovely.
