I found a card - clearly to me, she only has one daughter-in-law - and a packet of diamante to go with the hotfix gun she got me for Christmas while we were tidying the house.

It's weird how normality creeps up on you; you start out focussed on one thing, and slowly other things start to come back within your sphere of attention.
