Is it the most beautiful Christmas hyacinths arrangement in the World?
As most of you know my brother Stephen is very profoundly handicapped and looked after by my 78 year old mum. He goes to a Day Centre and at special times like Christmas he brings something home for my mum that he has made. Now we know that his only contribution was probably holding a bulb for a second or two before throwing it, but he sat at the table and watched while the staff put it together with/for him and of all the presents in the world ….. this is the best and most wonderful of them all!
How lovely! My parents both worked in a day centre in Oldbury and used to love Christmas there! Janex
