Among the Lemon Groves

I cried reading this: "On 7 January 1976, when Balasa was recovering from an operation, Pomme wrote to Paddy and Joan with their news. Half way through the letter Balasa, who was too weak to write, interjected with this dictation: 'My dear ones, when my heart is very bad I always want Paddy to know this that I never told him. We were coming back by moonlight to the mill. Paddy had gone on in front and I could hear him singing lustily 'Raggle Taggle Gypsies Oh!' among the lemon groves. I had lagged behind and sat on a little stone wall. I felt at that moment that I had never been happier than before and would never be happier - 'Bless his heart'."
