A Catch-up Round-up.

These past couple of months have been extremely hard. Having to make the decision for Ellie when she was still so bright in herself nearly totally broke me. John is still struggling with balancing his meds to have some sort of life. Breathing is often quite a challenge for him especially first thing in the…

On to November!

Oh my! Where did October go? Mind you, if I spend a little time looking back through, it was a good month. John and I spent a lot of time pottering around, slower than normal, starting to put the garden to bed for the winter, always quite a long chore anyway. We have some huge…

October the Beginning

In a fuel shortage we have probably clocked up more miles these past few weeks than ever! There has been a long list of hospital appointments for both of us. My physio is coming along great and I'm actually feeling the improvements. John has been doing well until the breathlessness started to become a problem.…

Rest and Recuperation

As you can imagine we've been taking it slowly as John finds his feet again. He is finding that his 'battery' runs low quite quickly and it takes a while to recharge. He is also taking a trial drug which is giving him the occasional headache and shortness of breath. It's doing all the other…

A Week to Not Repeat

Not even a week really though it feels like it's all gone in slow motion. Remember my little Scarecrow for our Village Gathering last time? Well that morphed into this at 07.30 Wednesday 1st September. John came back from the dog walk not feeling too well. Thankfully we have good friends and a defibrillator in…

July the Beginning

Garden and Golf Steals June!

Well the weather has been spectacular at last! Summer arrived. What a strange year. I have peonies totally over and some just coming into tight bud. The same with the roses. You can almost hear the plants wondering if it's safe to get on with things now! Lots of time has been spent in the…

And on into May

The rickrack, on second ordering, finally arrived! I had been up into my huge Cword bag and found the fabric that wanted to be with the reindeer. I have plenty of Scandi types but the one that elbowed it's way to the front was this red and white stripe! For some reason it works for…
