Our Blossom Time, Sunshine Day book is dedicated to the memory of Linda Needham (1946 - 2025) who so sadly and unexpectedly passed away earlier this year. The title of the book is taken from one of Linda's poems. The words Blossom Time, Sunshine Day resonate with optimism, renewal and joy for humanity and the natural world. Through her music and her poems Linda always wanted to spread so much goodness in our community and she is very much missed.
