THE LEMONS
They sit in my fridge and I feel comforted to know that they will liven up any dish, bring hope to a lost and lonely salad leaf and bring the zing to my gin and tonic. They are my fall back.
Friends are like lemons. They may not always feature but they are always there. I may not always need them but they will spring to my rescue when the time calls. So what happens when you move to the other side of the World? As much as I would have liked to have packed them up, placed them neatly in my shipping container it was not possible and therefore I am here and they are there!
I moved to Canada in July 2011 with my husband and two children.
So lemons and friends. Things can be done without them but why would you want to? Why settle for ok when life can sing and dance like my gin and tonic? So just as I keep lemons in my fridge I am trying to gather friends in a new place.
It is comforting to write even this so here we go blogging......
