Unexpected gift

You wouldn't expect, would you, to be trying on t-shirts in New Look and suddenly feel all over lucky and blessed? but that is what happened to me today ..

I was in an ordinary shop, doing an extraordinary thing: buying tops for a holiday this summer that I never thought I'd have > I never really thought I'd have this summer, let alone this holiday, and today I was rather over-come with it ...

It was the sheer ordinariness of it which touched me, really. Trying on things in a shop with out the stoma bag irritating me and making its presence felt .. or without the tight corset I needed to wear to be comfortable, just shimmying clothes on and off like I always used to. Ordinary.

Extraordinary privilege.

Sue you are so brave, im so pleased you and Briged have got a nice holiday booked.
I did try our shops for shorts but they seemed very sparse with material, I couldnt see them looking like a skirt when wearing them. try Matalan they have a big girls section.
lots of love L M xxxxx
