The weeks since my last post have passed under the shadow of my brother-in-law’s untimely death from a rare sarcoma at the beginning of July. His presence is felt throughout A Merrier World, from the endless brownie photos to the icing-sugar cloud of despair, the Curry Corner to the cookies … He is deeply missed.
Meanwhile, our garden has been bursting with new life, not least with a glut of broad beans.
I promised my sister that I’d write a post with this title, so here it is.

/ February 3, 2015I am so sorry. I’m glad he had some cookies before he died. I spent last summer taking care of my dying sister, and making food she actually wanted to eat was an honor. (Apologies for bringing up my own loss in a comment on a post about yours; I hate it when people do this kind of thing. But you made me cry, because I know just how sad you were when you wrote this, and of course your sadness reminded me of my own.)

/ February 3, 2015Thank you for your touching comment, Sarah – and I am so sorry for your loss (and of course I don’t mind your writing about it here). Take care.
