been popping in to the kitchen on and off , just listening in the corner.
We had some sad news last week one of my oldest friends( in years not age) died on Easter Monday. Viva was the most generous and kind person you could wish to meet. She had been ill for some years and the last two underwent some serious chemo and radio treatments.She sang in a trio with two other great girls. Last summer they did a house concert in our garden,she wrote all their material, incredibly funny songs with amazing props, and people literally fell off the seats laughing.She had the most wonderful smile and personality, an amazing voice and songwiting talent.
We saw her again in November in concert down in Somerset, she was very unwell but somehow when she went on stage the place lit up. She was still performing in February and on Valentines day they did a brilliant concert ,the hall was decorated in purple and pink, her favourite colours, even matching raffle tickets!
We are going to her funeral on Monday in Dorset, to celebrate a wonderful woman and a life that brought joy to so many people.Another in the heavenly choir too soon.
