Thank you Emily. I love Neve's recipe. My heart aches for you writing this. I am thinking of you and Neve while you pause your writing.

Thank you Zoe. I don't plan to pause fully, but to be a bit more relaxed about posting and topics. x

I love this post ! And I found myself laughing in many places at the recounting of the various emails. Neve is a kindred soul .....I too love porridge with lots of brown sugar....it's just too boring otherwise. So many warm memories for you.

It is wonderful having so many memories tied up in the food that we eat each day. I often find myself remembering that Neve liked this or that dish. Then I wonder whether she would approve of how I made it this time! x

Emily I have been following your blog and it is so beautifully written. I feel I'm getting to know a bit of Neve and also seeing a window into your love for her and your grief. Thank you for sharing such treasured memories and reflections. I hope as a doctor I can learn something about how to support parents going through such an unimaginable time, and as a human being how I can support friends and family going through grief and loss

Thank you for this Heather. The world you touch, professionally and personally, will be richer for the effort you put into hearing stories and reaching out to others. I hope you got to read about the Laughing Banana, should you have any doctor aspirations to make children laugh!! xx
