I remember walking back into work for my first day after maternity leave in 2014. In the drab, cold portacabin office building there was this colourful beauty. Our new colleague, Emma! That was the last time I shuffled into work in jeans. Emma not only inspired me to think about more and enjoy what I was wearing, but she also gave such kindness and thoughtfulness that my life really was made richer from knowing her. Emma was my kind, beautiful, earnest and clever friend. She was fiercely independent, and only now do I realise how much this masked a fierce dependence. We enjoyed many trips to the theatre together, with our children and without. We spoke about music, ballet, musicals and Frozen II. We would walk and walk around Hillier's as we chatted about life, motherhood, work and love. Our last trip together was to Blenheim Palace, and I will never forget that lovely day. I miss her so very very much. Angharad xx
