I have been so busy and haven't checked your blog in a while. I can only imagine the heaviness you have in your heart and your mom and family. I don't know if there are any words of comfort that anyone can give you at this time, only I hope you know how much everyone who knows you cares. Even though we've never met, I can feel what a kind and tender hearted person you are. I just wanted you, your mom and family, and especially your dad, to know my thoughts and prayers are with you from way across the ocean. I'll put him on the top of my prayer list and all of you!<br />A big hug of comfort from me, Sharon, in Florida.

Are you coming to Sue's party...Hi dear Rachel,<br /><br />Are you coming to Sue's party? Remember that I have a studio/guest house that stands alone. Jeff and I have been getting regular updates of the book tour. Fun, but lots of hard work and some bad food along the way, I'm sure. My tour was six weeks last year and we were SO GLAD to return home. <br /><br />Love the views of the farm. So sad we didn't get to see it in person when we visited, but there is never enough time. Right? Your Mom is lovely. Hope all is well with you and yours,<br /><br />SSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-23912510553925910442013-09-17T03:53:00.945+01:002013-09-17T03:53:00.945+01:00Wildflowers and sunsets and meadows, oh my!

Everything about the farm where you grew up looks like a piece of heaven, I can understand why your dad and mom love it so much - and you, too. The sky pictures by your house are truly breathtaking, the colors are just gorgeous. Summer is winding down here in Maine, too. We still have warm days but you can see by the change in the color of the foliage and trickling falling leaves that fall isn't too far away. This is the first time I've written Rachel, but I do love to read your blog, it's just beautiful, and I love reading about your English life. Thanks so much!

Having first seen glimpses of the farm by way of Susan's visit, this is a nice follow up. Your mum looks amazing still! The plum chutney you tweeted will be much appreciated in the months to come. Aren't we having fun on Sue's book tour?! Hoping to book a signing nearby, perhaps after Christmas sometime ... if she's not completely exhausted :-)<br /><br />Hugs from Sharon in Alabama (USA)n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369954553919919919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-60786732067786838152013-09-02T14:45:31.369+01:002013-09-02T14:45:31.369+01:00Oh, Rachel, what a delightful blog.

Your pictures are all gorgeous as always and somehow evocative of days gone by. Very envious of unslugged hostas - we can't grown them as they are rags within minutes of emerging. Also envious of your wild flower meadow.
