My friend Kate's little boy Adam would have been 6 this week . This year to celebrate his short life she decided to break with the tradition of the previous 5 years and instead of fireworks of the evening she set free a white homing dove after her daughter said a few words. Once freed the bird circles over the garden to get its bearing and then flies home (to Essex for this particular bird so there were many a comments that it had a dangerous trip over London in perspective and people were hoping it would avoid the peregrine falcons ). The event was about celebrating life and, between the unseasonably sunny weather and the children doing their best to transfer mud from the garden to the house (nothing like water pistols in November right?) and to prove there is no such thing as too much cake, it did just what it was set out to do.
