Just yesterday I was visiting a client at her Toorak apartment, awestruck by her view I exclaimed "you must get the most tremendous view of the fireworks on New Years" I barely mouthed the words & a hard lump became stuck in my throat....she was blind. She smiled & as if talking to a child said "I fear I can't see any of it my dear" & then she reached out for my hand, gave it a gentle squeeze & said "would you describe it to me?". How gracious she was, she could have so easily become embittered by my foolish remark but no she turned it into something quite special - she was an enchantress.
