• To Broughty Ferry and sad news

    28 augustus 2023, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Today I received the sad news that my friend and colleague, Lin, had passed away on Friday. I had hoped that she's stay with us until I got back to New Zealand to say a final farewell, but it wasn't to be. We have shared so much over the years both at work and over zoom meetings since during our monthly supervision sessions. I will miss her humour and her insightful input to my practice. I forgot to tell my friend Ann as we readied for our trip out today.

    Ann and I went to Broughty Ferry, another nostalgic journey as I lived here for a couple of months during my first every visit home to Scotland in 1990. The wee shops are lovely, full of local and other crafts, jewelry, scottish mostly, attesting to the workmanship that here abounds.

    We lunched in a wee cafe, enjoying the sounds of other Scottish folk enjoying their catch up times, me smiling to myself as I make a mental note to remember them once back in New Zealand.

    The day trickled on as we realised it was almost 4 p.m. by the time we were ready to make our way home, another day full of memories.
