This weekend we had to take an unexpected trip over to England to spend time with family and to mourn the loss of Rupert’s Grandmother. We all know goodbyes are never easy and this one came as a shock as the matriarch of Rupe’s family had (unknown to us) only fallen ill a day before leaving this world behind late last week. Rupe was incredibly close to his grandmother, as she was also a strong mother figure in his life, so we will be spending this week at the family farm in England honoring her. Above is Rupe and his Grandpa sitting on their back porch sharing memories. Time with family is so precious. x

Hello Sarah,
I’m a very new reader to your lovely blog and whilst I haven’t commented before, I felt moved to do so after reading of the loss of your husband’s Grandmother. My sympathies to you both and to all of the family, even when we are prepared for such life events they are still impossible to take in, so I cannot even begin to imagine how this news must have felt, and what you must all be going through.
Esther.
Hi Esther, Thank you so much for your kind and understanding words. I’m so happy you are here, newbie or not. 🙂
I’m so sorry for your loss. May your hearts be filled with fond memories of her love and a life well lived:)
Thank you Shavonda, I really appreciate these kind words. my husband grew up with their farm as a home base so at least fond memories are all around.
I was hoping you were on a fun trip to England when I saw your instagram, so sorry for your loss. I hope you and Rupert can share some healing moments with his family, in my experience those are so important in times like these. Sending you love from Belgium x
Thank you Patricia, I know, not the trip anyone wants to make but, exactly, important times and we are thankful to be here with the family. xo
Hi Sarah, I purchased a picnic basket from your shop last week and just sent you an email today. I didn’t realize this was going on. Please disregard the email, take your time and I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss.
Hi Amanda, Oh you are so sweet. Thank you for your understanding. I will have it out asap when we return.
So sorry to hear the sad news Sarah. Family time is precious and I hope you have a restful next few days and stay strong. Thinking of you and all the best 🙂 xx
Thank you Alexandra. xo
