How special to still have your mothers sewing creations. You'll have to post one day, they sound beautiful and would truly hold special memories.

The YouTube video was amazing. I was mesmerised, couldn't stop watching it. I must admit I was thinking he would fall in. Such talent to skate on such thin ice. The footage was obviously filmed by a very talented aerial videographer. Thank you for sharing.

So beautifully evocative, Prue - the sound of your mother in Thai silk - what a wonderful memory!

And I'm so thrilled to have seen that lovely picture of you dancing.

The ice skating video was extraordinary - what a remarkable thing. Just wow! 😍

Shimmering... What a magnificent word, a magnificent vision. I never thought of it as an onomatopoeia before now, but with your lovely photos, and the stories of your mother in her silk and you in yours, the slightly blurry (unintentionally or not) capture of you dancing -- it's all spilling over with silvery movement and bouncing light.
