First yahrzeit for my mother

[lethargic_man]

This Shabbos will be the first yahrzeit for my mother; I shall be spending the day with my father in Newcastle.

To mark the event by remembering her here, here's a photo of my mother on her last outing, in July the year before last. This was taken a matter of days before her illness entered its terminal phase, but you'd never guess from looking at her. The photo was shot by my father (and posted here with his permission); it's taken on the Northumbrian coastline, with Bamburgh^* Castle in the background.

* Pronounced like Edinburgh, not Pittsburgh.

I wish you long life. It's a good idea to go and see your father, I do hope he's managing ok.

Gosh, she looked well there! And I can see the family resemblance.

I wish you many sweet and happy memories and shanim rabbot. Thinking of you.
