The heading is so true. In small ways life improves and it’s good. It may be walking further, eating more or mentally. Thankfully the hospital chose to operate on me and not Palliative Care! No more photos taken in the past few days, I have been busy trying to change my internet connection from Copper…

It’s just over two weeks home and I have had some minor setbacks but the positive is that I’m improving. I still have to be careful using my camera due to weight and potentially it could strain my stomach. However I did use my phone to take a photo of some Lilies in the rain.…

I was discharged from hospital a week ago. After 4 weeks in hospital it was strange and scary to be home. The surroundings, once so familiar, were unusual, and old routines were gone. That took two days to get over and now five days on it’s so comfortable being home. Now, day by day I…

I see I haven’t updated my website for 8 months now, that includes blogs. Unfortunately I have had a significant health issue which is my reason. In May I came back from Bologna with a groin pain, checked out by my GP who thought it was a hernia. Put on a waiting list for a…
