♥♥♥ Japan ♥♥♥

Like everyone I know I have been overwhelmed by the recent natural disaster(s) in Japan. My Japanese friends and their families are all, thankfully, alive and well. Sadly, that is not the case for so many others.

Japan and its people have played a very special and inspirational part in my life. I have donated money and bought Japanese goods (I am a sucker for their sewing books) to support the relief effort and the Japanese economy. I have been moved to tears by others doing the same, for example students at the University of Sussex (where my own strong connections with the country were first formed).
