I was very sad to hear news yesterday, that Sarah Holmes, an old work colleague at the Lynn News and who also ended up working at my last hospital had passed away on Tuesday and only aged 50. Sarah has courageously battled with cancer for a long time and was a very much respected, kind, quietly spoken and lovely lady – she shared her ongoing treatment and fight to survive on her Facebook page to help others, which was a very brave thing to do. Very, very sadly she lost the battle. My most sincere condolences to her family and friends – Rest in peace dear Sarah x 🕊
 
Loads of House Sparrows as last night, in a feeding frenzie at my feeders this evening! Also a couple of Siskins, Blackbirds, Starlings, Rock Doves and a Collared Dove. Another mixed day of rain, sun, rain, sun and so on! I now have five days off and I'm looking forward to a break. 😊
