A GIFT FROM THE HEART

The heart is the body's pump; some people have a lot of heart and thanks to someone in Blogland with an extra big heart I now have a pond pump up and running far sooner than I thought I'd be able to. You see I received a "begging letter"...... begging me to allow this person to make a gift of the pump in honour of Mick and his memory. As much as I want to manage for myself this was a gesture I felt it would be wrong to turn down; I could tell the joy the giver would receive by my acceptance. To that special person I give my thanks. Our garden; Mick's and my Paradise on Earth now SOUNDS right again.

Another special someone gave me a hand with the installation; Manda came and helped; the cable is tucked away safely out of sight behind here........


and here..........So click the off switch of the music in the sidebar; click and play the video below and listen ....................

Mick and Ruth's garden is singing again...................... and so is my heart.

That is a wonderful noise Ruth! There is a certain special 'peace' that comes from sitting on the bench by your pond and I am so pleased that you have been able to get it up and running again so quickly.

What a wonderful gesture and so glad to 'read' the joy this has brought you.

Love and {{HUGS}} xx

How lovely for you Ruth, there's nothing like the sound of gently splashing water, especially when it gives such good memories.
Well done to the kind hearted person.
