Eloise, five years on and we miss you as much as ever. We miss your kindness, sense of humour, cheekiness, beauty and warmth. At the weekend we did the Reading to Oxford in your memory.

The walk was lovely, and helped us get through the difficult anniversary. Moving through nature with the sights, smells and sounds of the river and countryside was very soothing. We were able to talk about and think about you in a peaceful way.

I think maybe you had a word with weather gods for us because the rain cleared early in the weekend and the forecast 3 days of rain in fact stayed dry. You would have enjoyed the walk and I wish you could have been there, but I feel that in spririt you were with us.
