So almost two weeks post op and every day I’m feeling a bit stronger. The first week left me feeling a wee bit sorry for myself, but a pamper session from my daughter and a visit to my cousin lifted my spirits. This past week I removed the wound dressings. I was expecting three smallContinue reading “Recovery”

July to December 2023
It’s been a full six months, with trips to Harrogate, Dublin, London, France, Barnsley, Seville and Scotland. Very frustrating that my operation to remove my gall bladder has been cancelled twice, but hopeful that it should be done by mid February. We’ve had so much fun with River, and news of a new grandson inContinue reading “July to December 2023”

It’s been a while….
After meeting a friend for lunch today, she asked me about my blog and whether I had stopped it. Life has been busy and whilst on our cruise in June we met a lovely couple and he introduced me to the Snapseed app, and the use of iMovie. I’ve been playing with both, and thisContinue reading “It’s been a while….”
Busy,busy, busy
The last three weeks have been full on, trip to the theatre, visit to Scotland, trip to Chelsea Flower Show, football, London, and Brighton. Mum is slowly on the mend, she enjoyed our visit and those of so many friends and family. Hopefully the assessments required will be carried out and the support needed putContinue reading “Busy,busy, busy”
Celebrations, coronations and a couple of breaks.
A busy fortnight where we have spent time with River, celebrated the coronation of King Charles III, visited family, I’ve visited friends, family, cooked, tidied, watched cricket, rugby and had some tests and scans after my February rib/back injury has not improved. Both our sisters have celebrated wedding anniversaries: one sapphire, one silk. Warmest congratulationsContinue reading “Celebrations, coronations and a couple of breaks.”
Four weeks have just flown by
These last four weeks I have travelled to Brighton, Barnsley, Arbroath and back again. Days out with River, Easter and birthday celebrations as well as walking as much as I can. On Thursday we attended Marion’s ( Kevin’s step mum) funeral, 33 years to the day her beloved John, at the same crematorium. There wereContinue reading “Four weeks have just flown by”
Two weeks with fancy footwork
What a fortnight of food, football and dancing. And walking too. Just before I left for Scotland the saddest news that Marion, Kevin’s step Mum, had died. She was a formidable woman who faced so many challenges in her life. She rose to each challenge and was also a great support and comfort to allContinue reading “Two weeks with fancy footwork”
Relatively speaking a full week
Tuesday was busy with a trip to Surrey to visit special people, we arrived home and not long after Joe arrived with River and we enjoyed dinner together. Wednesday and it looks like we’ve got a new car, but have to wait until the 24th March… we had some fun in the garden with River,Continue reading “Relatively speaking a full week”
Paris in the springtime ( not quite)
Friday, an early start to catch Eurostar. The journey was good to St Pancras where we met Elaine and Jane. The weather was clement though chilly. We arrived at Gare du Nord and walked the 25 minutes to our hotel in Montmartre The staff were wonderful, very friendly and we settled ourselves in our rooms.Continue reading “Paris in the springtime ( not quite)”
All roads lead to Rome, but not without a bump
On Wednesday a change in plans for the weekend presented themselves and I was busy arranging accommodation in Rome ( over a 6N weekend). No mean feat, but I did secure some in a religious community near to where my cousin and her husband were staying. This was a huge departure for me staying somewhereContinue reading “All roads lead to Rome, but not without a bump”

Living life with all it has to offer
I started this blog originally to be a chronological edict, but it soon became a written commentary of what I was doing. In part it is so that when I’m no longer here there is something written down for my family to revisit, the other reason is it’s cathartic to write things, especially when timesContinue reading “Living life with all it has to offer”
