Remembering Sue

It’s so hard to believe that it is five years ago we lost our colleague Sue Vincent.
She is still greatly missed.
In December 2024 Stuart posted that Ani had passed away and gone to play ‘fetch’ with her Mum.
I wrote this in March 2017 for Sue’s Photoprompt challenge.
The picture is Sue’s.

Like this bird in flight,
Take me away from this life.
Lift me high on the wing
Towards the golden rays of sunset.

Envelop me with mystic warmth,
Ease my lowly shattered spirit,
Let me join the sky to meet
The stars when they dazzle on soft dark velvet.

Nothing to get in the way,
Open seas and open courses,
The liquid path inviting as it mesmerises,
But I cannot walk on water to tread it.

Personal Thoughts today

Regular readers may remember we put our house on the market in 2024.
We had only one viewing with our first agent which was very disappointing over their 12 week period, but the second agent got a lot of people through our door.
We had three offers, but none panned out, and we decided to take the property off the market last October after fifteen months.
Our reasons were several:
