A death in the family
Early this morning, the death took place of Mary Maloney, better know to us here as the mother of Mrs Rainy Day. A gentle woman with a marvellous sense of humour, she encouraged her children to read and travel widely. In her final years, she revealed a talent for painting and her watercolours were filled with the motifs of her native, beloved Sligo. As a mark of respect for this remarkable woman, who faced her final illness with fortitude, and for her family, Rainy Day blogging will be suspended until Monday, 3 January.

Deepest sympathy to you and your wife especially. Like Gandalf said in Return of the King, "I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil," just remember that this life is a very short time in the scheme of eternity, that great things await great people, and that you always meet the ones you love again down the road.
