Me: Good news. Harriet and I went to up to bed really early yesterday evening and slept the whole night through snuggled up together.
Nell: Yes, in fact Harriet is still asleep. She certainly seems to have got over whatever it was.
Me: We both feel so much better for a good long rest.
Nell: So, can we finally show everyone the photos we took when we went to the beach?
Me: We can. It didn’t feel right to share them when Harriet wasn’t well.
Nell: Everything was looking beautiful.
Me: Yes, and I was especially glad to see the island was still there.
Nell: Where else would it be?
Me: It’s up for sale, you know.
Nell: Whoever buys it isn’t going to pick it up and take it anywhere. It’s an island.
Me: I know that really but in my head I thought they might.
Nell: I worry about you sometimes. I really do. Goodness only knows what’s going on in your head.
Me: Anyway, it was lovely to be back on the beach and to see so many people enjoying themselves in the sunshine.
Nell: Which seems to have disappeared again, by the way.
Me: Yesterday was awful, wasn’t it? Lots of useless rain.
Nell: What does that mean?
Me: Not enough to help the garden but enough to make you feel all damp and miserable.
Nell: You were tired.
Me: True.
Nell: Harriet wanted me to say a big thank you to everyone for the get well soon wishes. They meant a lot to her.
Me: Yes, and thank you for your ideas of how to raise funds. Kev and I are going to open the shop again soon and I have a few ideas too.
Nell: We will get there. Just believe.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
