Clare as everyone has said, the flowers & chocs sound lovely - enjoy!! You were the first thing I thought about this morning .... We're Glamping in Yurts .... How I wished I had a She-wee!!! 🙂

[Guest user]

Twinky thanks v much the flowers sound great hope u pick up sn rest and get spoilt Clare glad u liked them u derserve them xx

[RevCat]

The flowers sound gorgeous - enjoy every moment of them, you so deserve it. Hope the choccies are disappearing rapidly amidst much mirth.

Twinky, rest up yourself, in a few days you will feel so much better I am sure. Thank you for being head of Secret Operations!

[emmy]

So glad you got them on a rainy day such as this it will bring the outside in (if you know what I mean!) Twinks you are a star! Em xxx

[libsue]

Pssst Twinky , you look after yourself girl..............we can wait. You have been marvellous.

Clare, the flowers sound beautiful the smell from the stocks will fill your home with perfume. I'm pleased to hear your delight - you so deserve to be spoilt.

I don't believe you realise how much YOU have given to us, our gesture is small by comparison. I'll always remember your selflessness and compassion for others, your gift to us is FAR greater then our gift to you.

Enjoy the choc's, and no rules ......... you CAN eat them all at once if you like.

Much love,

Libby xxx

Hi

Quick cryptic message to those who have sent me a PM this week. Was going to contact you all today & explained what I have managed to arrange but I've been poorly so there will be a slight delay in responding to you all. Phase 1 ordered & hopefully delivered today. Phase 2 slight delay until I'm back on my feet.

Sorry for my silence. I thought I'd be ok today but sadly not.

Twinky x

[JulieD]

[ChoccieMuffin]

My pictures of Clare include a beautiful kitchen table with a lovely vase of flowers and a ma-HOOO-sive pot of chocolate sauce, masses of pancakes and tons of cream. Oh, and the fresh raspberries so at least we had fruit! Lots of giggling.

My second picture is of Clare, again surrounded by food, with a few more Claredrops, full lunch and sore ribs from yet more giggling.

My third picture is sat in the sunshine outside the pub with yet more food, yet more smiles, yet more giggles, and a box of RevCat's cupcakes.

Yeah, there's a foodie theme, but also spot the giggling, the smiling and the ever-present sparkle in the eye.

Thank you Clare, for three lovely days in your company.

[katytc]

Put the central heating on tonight, cold and rained non stop all day!
Clare, thinking of you lots of love to you all xx

[Guest user]

Hello Clare,
sending you love and hugs from a rather cold North-East Scotland. I am looking out of the window at the moment and watch a couple of little roe-deer over the road on the little hill. Glad to say they are back again this year and I have decided to name them Clare and Claredrops, so every time I see them in the evening I will think of you and all the Drops. I do hope your pain is under control and that you have a peaceful and joyful time with your loved ones.
Love and a gentle hug from
Alanaa and Fat Cat xxxx

[moser]

And from me too Clare ,,, xxx

I too have that picture of her in her garden in the sun surounded by birds and bees and her loving family.... Clare hope you are resting.... Sending love and peace to you and yours xxxx

Sian,
What a beautiful post! The funny thing is that you have expressed so well the picture I have of Clare and her family and surroundings. Clare has obviously painted a very distinctive and a clearly happy, joyful and comforting scene for a number of us!
Clare,
Thinking of, and praying for, you and yours.
Much love,
