Of Bicycles and Goats

Created by David 4 years ago

 I will always remember the relief of seeing Posy and Richard as they came to meet a group of bedraggled cyclists on their way to John O Groats, somewhere in the middle of a rain and windswept Dartmoor, bringing much needed refreshments and encouragement as we pedalled our way northwards raising funds to buy goats for Pokot, and hence began a partnership which became one of great friendship and love.

 Posy was such an embodiment of grace itself towards everyone she met, whether that was in the dustbowls of Africa or the wetlands of Devon's moors ! Her generosity knew no bounds whether in acts of kindness or thoughtful prayers, countless people call her a friend and countless friends will miss her smile, her laughter and her presence.

We have been honoured to serve the work in Pokot, with goats, water programmes, school builds and even at one stage being asked to help with the supply of geese to act as security guards to protect food stores in a time of famine ! Thoughts and times flood back as I write, like so many others, we have many fond, fun and lasting memories and know that Posy has left this world in a far better place than it was before she was here

 Posy's warmth and genuine interest to everyone she met will be a lasting memory of her, having a rare gift of making each person she spoke with feel valued and significant. We all know that Posy loved a good party and so now, she will no doubt be in Heaven "kicking off her heels" as she parties away in the biggest party ever!

With much love, David and Caroline xx
