It’s love and kindness like this that keep me going.

A friend phoned Jo, knowing that I’d be going through Middlemarch. Jo and Viv, wonderful people I had never met, walked up the Otago Rail Trail and left a beer to surprise me and lift my spirits. They opened their doors for me and showered me with amazing kindness and love.

Thank you, Jo, Viv, the puppies, Star, the sheep and the horses. Big hugs!
