the aardvark Thelma "gave me" as a present for Christmas 2015

My sweet Thelma knew everything about me (maybe more than even I knew about myself). She knew I love(d) animals, and we admired my favourite aardvarks in Colchester together in 2015. So, that year, among my Christmas presents from her, she paid for the "adoption" of Colchester's Adela the aardvark in my name. So, this picture is another little memento of my Wifey's gentle heart. (Sadly, Adela perished a few months later, as I was informed by the zoo, but I still cherish this photo - not least for that bit of Thelma's heart attached to it).
