These are the last few months of letters, during this time I travelled backwards and forwards and visited my Mum quite a lot. In August I had taken Aidan camping in the Pennant Valley with no internet etc - and during that time I sent several postcards. Mum really enjoyed reading the letters and carried them around with her. As she grew nearer to the end she was not really able to focus on them but she could still read them - and they became briefer - but the lovely thing for me is that My Mother knew I loved her - my one constant message.
In October she was still well enough to have (somewhat parallel) conversations with her friends at Acorn Hollows - she was particularly fond of Audrey (on the right) and they often kissed and embraced each other in a beautiful affectionate way.
Jenny went to see Mum when this letter arrived and she really enjoyed the funny picture of the crazy carrots!
