Janet Campbell Brayson, 10th February 1951 to 6th May 2023
I can’t actually recall my big sister Janet ever wearing pink, although she may well have been in the photo (she is on the further donkey), as we were no doubt dressed in different colours of the same frock, handmade as always by our mother. However, it seemed important for today’s vase to be soft, gentle and non-demanding, as befits the numbness that our family is feeling after Saturday’s sad news. In the pink Caithness Glass vase are: Bellis perennis ‘Tasso Strawberries & Cream’, Persicaria ‘Superba’, a random lily-flowered tulip from a pink mix and a couple of dark heuchera leaves with a faint pink mottling.
