I recall many a time during my childhood when Cherry and I would walk home from school only to stand on the corner of the road in between our houses trying to decide whose house we would go to after school (not sure why we didn't decide as we walked home but we didn't!) - I think each of us secretly hoped we'd go to the other's house but didn't want to make the decision. I know I always hoped we'd decide on going to Cherry's - your home - and that I'd be invited to stay for tea! One of my favourite teas was one that you cooked and I've tried to re-create it since but its just not the same. Your rice dish made with bacon, peas and peanuts - it might not sound like much to some but it was simply delicious! Thank you for always making me welcome in your home - back then when I was a child and in more recent years. Miss you XX
