2016 was OK.....

.....but in 2017, my brother was diagnosed with vascular dementia, which was not so good. Then 2018 was an absolute shocker! In February of that year, my lifelong friend of fifty-three years and an incredibly talented musician, passed away in hospital with a sepsis infection. And even much more sorrow in November! My partner and soulmate was taken by cancer 😭 As for 2019, that was a bit of a non event as well, apart from the first case of coronavirus being detected in China, which no-one deserves!

OK, that's enough doom and gloom for now, so here is something nice to end the day with. This is a Violet Carpenter Bee, which was flitting about in my garden today.
