helping homesickness
i have a lovely friend who is English
She is in NZ because she is madly in love with a New Zealander and has been long enough to make 4 babies with him, raise them here into lovely little New Zealanders.
She fits into Ag day
She likes to walk on our beaches
She has many friends
But her heart yearns for England
for the soft green curving hills
the ancient graceful buildings
the literature and erudition
and at this time of year
she misses the bluebells
she told me about them with tears in her eyes
and so i wanted to try and fix that ...
here is my effort....

I empathise with your friend.
ReplyDeleteI miss those things too.
How fortunate she is to have you.

It 's good that she has a friend that cares enough to cheer her up it can be hard being away from home
