The cat has gone….. well not quite!
2014 The first flower ‘soreal not plastic’
New year resolutions I must keep:
Chuck out all the stuff in my cosmetic bag and buy a whole lot of new colours .
Not to worry too much about anything. Things usually work out well enough if you hang on long enough, so I will remember to hang on.
Keep writing the diary every day in longhand. Never edit, or look at it again once the page is turned.
I promise to watch family antics with humour and love, only butting in if needed or asked ( but let me know in good time please)

Reflections from a sunny window
I like the monkey

Oh dear,today the monkey is sad.
The monkey was left behind on the cushions.
The children are gone!
Jack’s done Ok!
Dear Emma,
Oh dear, here we go again. Nothing could compare with what you had to deal with at Chestnut Avenue. How you thought life would be sweet at last…… but the worst was yet to come. I know you blamed yourself for everything that happened to Jack because John told Jack and Lizzie told Jack. Vinnie repeated what John and Lizzie said…. to Jack. And Jack told me. Jack said that your strength ebbed away when your heart had broken in two, after what happened to him. Jack told me because he went on missing you; but even he never really understood (as far as I could tell) exactly why you blamed yourself. He just knew that what happened to him pulled you to pieces, and then you were gone! There wasn’t much to be read about it in the papers at the time and I am not sure you would have made sense of it anyway, no one did….so, you just fell to pieces. (You lost so much).
But it was never your fault. And Jack did fine. Jack’s done OK! I think I will write to Jack and then I will let you know. Meanwhile for heavens sake cheer up!
Much love as ever, Rosie
I like red
Just before the fall!

Beans bending over say dont pick me again
And a couple of bird baths keep filling with rain
The Sand toys sit abandoned all ready to store
And the sulking blue flowers are a bit of a bore
The yellow nasturtium looks sad ‘cos its late
And the Virginia creeper is turning RED by the gate!
Your time of year Emma!!… Love Rosie xxx
Creeping up on some red leaves

Dear Emma, Here is the virginia creeper. It is turning red.I guess the spider is still in there somewhere. I didn’t see him hanging around. perhaps he went into hiding yesterday….maybe he didn’t like the sun.Maybe he could see me creeping about,but I couldn’t even see the web. The gentian violets are sulking in the rain today.Take care.love Rosie
