As the end of another year approaches it becomes a time of reflection and also a chance to update my settings in case blogger decided to delete it all! Sadly it has been another year of world turmoil as war devastates many lives and it is hard to comprehend when we are safely tucked away in our comfortable surroundings. We have had some very unusual weather and today it was only meant to reach 17C and tomorrow it will be up near 30C! On the east coast of Australia they have had a heat wave while here we are experiencing Winter in the second week of what should be Summer. We have had a months' worth of rain in one day and the winds have been horrendous, but the little garden seems to have survived........mind you the kangaroos have taken a liking to nibbling the petunias.....</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I appliquéd it all so it was right up my alley but it was very different working in felt. I did this at no cost to the club and as my way of giving back to an organisation that does so much for the local community. So you can imagine my surprise when the President turned up unannounced one Sunday morning to deliver a framed certificate of thanks and a basket full of goodies.......glad I wasn't still in my nightie!......<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

And news of Gympie Quilt Show<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Yes it has been a while...an awful long 8 months actually! Now I know some people wonder why I (and others), blog but here it is. I recently watched the King's Coronation but it was one of the guests - Nick Cave who intrigued me so it led me down the rabbit hole of Google and lo and behold I found Nick blogs as well.......right here: <a href="https://www.theredhandfiles.com" target="_blank">The Red Hand Files</a> and what a fascinating blog it is. Nick has turned it into a forum where others can ask deep and meaningful questions and with Nick's experiences in life he gives his perspective. So once again I might pop up from time to time as I actually find typing <i>"life"</i> on the keyboard quite therapeutic...after all you don't have to read it! So why the flowers? To break up my natter and just because!....</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN9IwHZPM5wyX2wYccH-tIFv6lBvUPpEnpBEj5YO4gc6iypWIL-H_9fkheaByitXO48pA0WtRksmeyNYgDZAA3ocxxVvbpAo3ncMif1FC2u3yoBfzBL0GCEdKb4DhyLRNkecHlnVc_fWo13jYpD4KR4Rg7odx91RyZrgaBlsXNb1HO0nYcWZ17RLda/s1280/20200806_210902.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN9IwHZPM5wyX2wYccH-tIFv6lBvUPpEnpBEj5YO4gc6iypWIL-H_9fkheaByitXO48pA0WtRksmeyNYgDZAA3ocxxVvbpAo3ncMif1FC2u3yoBfzBL0GCEdKb4DhyLRNkecHlnVc_fWo13jYpD4KR4Rg7odx91RyZrgaBlsXNb1HO0nYcWZ17RLda/s320/20200806_210902.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The other reason is to say I am sorry to those who enjoyed my stories in the past and emailed me to say how much they have missed them. There were several people who also asked if I was okay?!! Well yes and No.....more of that later. We have moved and that has kept us very busy. The cottage was supposed to have been completed for moving in on December 14th but sadly we are 5 months on and there is still things to be done. We left selling our house for as long as we could and eventually sold in late October. We took a lesser offer as the family wanted a long 4 month settlement...perfect we thought but alas we had to put everything in storage and stay in holiday accommodation for almost 7 weeks. I will miss the garden but am so glad all the packing and unpacking is finally done.......</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1pRlCJqzhZbUVxDXxTOLvFpkvkJ719ZWhTnaE986qNf_aH8xy22gz6oqZWTbeg0Kwv559i8OvJv6lyB6UiMJCB6zUR9Ag9bZdj-JPjnBnmbtS23YH6Nzj6-0ZC-80cfdEAY3JyAyBmBkJhsqL0RJDH04S71vzm20lVxstJG2PSCqn1klOdS9Vo0d8/s4032/20221201_172821.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1pRlCJqzhZbUVxDXxTOLvFpkvkJ719ZWhTnaE986qNf_aH8xy22gz6oqZWTbeg0Kwv559i8OvJv6lyB6UiMJCB6zUR9Ag9bZdj-JPjnBnmbtS23YH6Nzj6-0ZC-80cfdEAY3JyAyBmBkJhsqL0RJDH04S71vzm20lVxstJG2PSCqn1klOdS9Vo0d8/s320/20221201_172821.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI_b7x-6OO_VsKLRRssow8Gl0wmIcmVYkwCXL1-9cjUVCDl1BYlLdG_cz3ss5WLAwG2P3cQ0oU7WsDy025R-mVJxQMK7Ak2YUS8uxElG79MC48KzB56-LhKGo_lO3AiEMPXRVBbDX822rLXkBmCbWrmyhDGDsgxfkhvflcj_1NpQwjYqG-KKpATh2Q/s1280/20220918_112512.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI_b7x-6OO_VsKLRRssow8Gl0wmIcmVYkwCXL1-9cjUVCDl1BYlLdG_cz3ss5WLAwG2P3cQ0oU7WsDy025R-mVJxQMK7Ak2YUS8uxElG79MC48KzB56-LhKGo_lO3AiEMPXRVBbDX822rLXkBmCbWrmyhDGDsgxfkhvflcj_1NpQwjYqG-KKpATh2Q/s320/20220918_112512.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Mr0NT3tO-QCYLkQHTJSONo9DiK6cfw4Wxh3CgHcGsQ2YS1yk8GCAJ1qPCFoY_dPwBkU-cVGjloh8X4OoOxSOU61REJhbCZyJwVrz2TFJIrjZ_5rnT8dHhUSohs3SrLperDFAaD7ltufgTSqoeMYhhE93tdv_MoZKDvmCPnNDXfSfvguZcfLJq9aC/s1280/20220918_112528.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Mr0NT3tO-QCYLkQHTJSONo9DiK6cfw4Wxh3CgHcGsQ2YS1yk8GCAJ1qPCFoY_dPwBkU-cVGjloh8X4OoOxSOU61REJhbCZyJwVrz2TFJIrjZ_5rnT8dHhUSohs3SrLperDFAaD7ltufgTSqoeMYhhE93tdv_MoZKDvmCPnNDXfSfvguZcfLJq9aC/s320/20220918_112528.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVp93nRDmYdhcoZfRXh7e8WDZS5VpPXYlmaxtYoI1g3_sJG1p30YDKkCCBaqJdtW3ecp8181oS6jh2VWFo7Jvq-_8e4I5BiHGHaeF8p4cjDk6G9lbw6ja9JlvBwK4_xA58xkjGrDlDgVT6QqDv6H0leO21dxOURxnNtLVK76JCmn4AwYVUehq9Qck5/s1280/20220918_112736.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVp93nRDmYdhcoZfRXh7e8WDZS5VpPXYlmaxtYoI1g3_sJG1p30YDKkCCBaqJdtW3ecp8181oS6jh2VWFo7Jvq-_8e4I5BiHGHaeF8p4cjDk6G9lbw6ja9JlvBwK4_xA58xkjGrDlDgVT6QqDv6H0leO21dxOURxnNtLVK76JCmn4AwYVUehq9Qck5/s320/20220918_112736.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Two weeks before we moved in (and while out enjoying a walk!), I decided to have a heart attack! I already have some issues with my heart that prevented me from having two chemotherapy drugs when being treated for cancer. This time my usual angina didn't resolve and it was our eldest daughter Emily (an RN), that took matters into her own hands and organised an ambulance! I was told I had a "type 2" attack...never knew there was more than one type! I was also told I now have atrial fibrillation and the ticker sat on 150-170 for 8 hours despite various treatments. I also had an episode that I have been experiencing for some years where I feel like I am going to pass out.......that in fact was my heart stopping for 3 seconds so I was glad it was finally recorded. So in a couple of weeks I am having a cardiac loop recording device inserted before a decision is made about needing a pacemaker. That procedure was delayed by a month as Larry and I finally decided to succumb to Covid 3 weeks ago! A few days after the heart attack I was meant to appear at a special afternoon tea for a fundraiser for restoration of the Morris stained glass windows at <a href="https://www.unleychurch.com" target="_blank">St Augustine's Anglican Church</a>. Dear Larry stepped in and I was told he did a grand job and I (and everyone else), was most grateful........</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKzrGvv7YhkHUnIN1684_TclSJHQZGufihM6tK_iH8pPNU6qqMo0dwtL3Qarjiy0SjncKBk1fumo7mV9-VgW2zNbTlSF4Ne-ZYJq01YLDS9b7JYyMGQmITttTfrfM2A2Q3UFee_JTbNSo4J4jxJ3lWAteDCHeQWXTJKhb8_sV14px1CHcwNfOYKOc/s1280/IMG_0680.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKzrGvv7YhkHUnIN1684_TclSJHQZGufihM6tK_iH8pPNU6qqMo0dwtL3Qarjiy0SjncKBk1fumo7mV9-VgW2zNbTlSF4Ne-ZYJq01YLDS9b7JYyMGQmITttTfrfM2A2Q3UFee_JTbNSo4J4jxJ3lWAteDCHeQWXTJKhb8_sV14px1CHcwNfOYKOc/s320/IMG_0680.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVR8WZcrihi54qqoOc7tgwiXYnHvx7intu67EByN90VXT0BLJPKEp8BPC8HKCZSvLVq32k2ER9tPH4r7XOz82XhPKvDisTrkLP_smy2x6wlFWT5B2BrC_WiLJtaaRrGyqIQcZJMudwhyipTVNn4er-c5K7TtT3FfHPGFXYaAxdu-lkFKv54RcpuwmT/s839/Resized_20230323_133606.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="839" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVR8WZcrihi54qqoOc7tgwiXYnHvx7intu67EByN90VXT0BLJPKEp8BPC8HKCZSvLVq32k2ER9tPH4r7XOz82XhPKvDisTrkLP_smy2x6wlFWT5B2BrC_WiLJtaaRrGyqIQcZJMudwhyipTVNn4er-c5K7TtT3FfHPGFXYaAxdu-lkFKv54RcpuwmT/s320/Resized_20230323_133606.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZrTnZhfcT-k8J9baAvCOQd9LLRBlYHJn1gHRx3FDV52saqf67fl_BtZSWgp-hv8snEMPsLnxIHjiN3Il-7jIg4-wkKRbX-thwNZGZEKbpKpEifVf-x2S5VVw1bUwZrtgUPOxEcrigl5koPk_GE494bUhXSY11nyjY-Kh0FVCItHnJEP3b25tuM90/s1152/Resized_20230323_133634.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZrTnZhfcT-k8J9baAvCOQd9LLRBlYHJn1gHRx3FDV52saqf67fl_BtZSWgp-hv8snEMPsLnxIHjiN3Il-7jIg4-wkKRbX-thwNZGZEKbpKpEifVf-x2S5VVw1bUwZrtgUPOxEcrigl5koPk_GE494bUhXSY11nyjY-Kh0FVCItHnJEP3b25tuM90/s320/Resized_20230323_133634.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2tSSRgfwgBPHySME3MuyHOiCldKL5e8C80G3aw0o1rQwuGniYiIvkdBhMMe30rYyQcbgDxrn3egH8piiZEaaOGt19Gp7JLTI7eJwUVu1q8HqBRBAR_6CoPOTTsm4Hha6OrdzdbllFy4hk4CKT6N7vKKqbb7rdCuaCEvS0Is_HLGTTtAB8do1HZjQ/s1152/Resized_20230323_141040.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2tSSRgfwgBPHySME3MuyHOiCldKL5e8C80G3aw0o1rQwuGniYiIvkdBhMMe30rYyQcbgDxrn3egH8piiZEaaOGt19Gp7JLTI7eJwUVu1q8HqBRBAR_6CoPOTTsm4Hha6OrdzdbllFy4hk4CKT6N7vKKqbb7rdCuaCEvS0Is_HLGTTtAB8do1HZjQ/s320/Resized_20230323_141040.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So all is well and we are very happy living in a small village community.

Kathy asked me before Covid and then when it was rescheduled I was in the middle of the cancer muddle! So finally it is happening.....a grand big show in Gympie, Queensland. You can read about it here: <a href="https://quiltandcraft.org" target="_blank">Gympie Quilt and Craft Spectacular</a>. Last year I decided to make a new piece just for the occasion and I am so glad I had completed most of it before we moved. It is a tryptich with inspiration from 3 embroidered panels designed by John Henry Dearle for Morris & Co. back in the 1890's and stitched right here in Adelaide and now on display at <a href="https://www.carrickhill.sa.gov.au" target="_blank">Carrick Hill</a>........this link shows you many of their treasures and where I found this image....<a href="https://www.carrickhill.sa.gov.au/collection/adipisci-ut-blanditiis" target="_blank">Furniture and Furnishings</a>....</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We watched the BBC coverage for about 7 hours with all of the pageantry and emotion. A moment in history and a time of reflection for both the past and future. And of course the iconic British Morris & Co designs have such a personal connection for me. Back in 2010 Larry and I had the wonderful opportunity of viewing the <a href="https://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.uk" target="_blank">Royal Yacht Britannia</a> in Edinburgh and you can read all about that visit on my blog <a href="https://williammorrisandmichele.blogspot.com/2010/09/welcome-to-royal-brittania-with-morris.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

If you've been thinking about it I would love you to join us to make it all happen....after-all it is not often here in Australia we get to see Morris furnishings <i>'insitu'</i> like onboard the Britannia! </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The tour is more than just Morris. We explore the Morris & Co connection to Adelaide and the underlying British settlement here in Adelaide. Adelaide had a large Arts & Crafts school and with some very prosperous founders the style and architecture can still be seen. Also in November the gardens are glorious, especially the roses and we will see lots! The tour is in just under 8 weeks (November 13th-19th), so there will be plenty of sunshine and fun.......here is just a little from past tours in no particular order......</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am so sorry to those of you who were already booked into the August tour but I just know from previous years how awful the weather can be in August and the gardens are definitely not at their finest. November is a fabulous time for the first flush of roses and we will see several magnificent rose gardens in bloom on the tour. November will also be my </span><u style="font-family: verdana;">very last tour</u><span style="font-family: verdana;">, in fact it will be tour number TEN so I plan to make it as exciting as we can!

I don't believe you can overrate the cliche to <i>live like today is your last</i> and I truly understand how true that is following a cancer diagnosis. I had a scan recently and my specialist reminded me that life can never be the same and I cannot truly celebrate until I hit the five year mark....but that fear still lurks in the background. So we have started the packing and decluttering as we look forward to special memories living in a small country town at the end of the year. Our last big move was packing up the family home of 26 years and I thought we had got rid of a lot then but I think not! Larry has really struggled with letting go of some of his books but last week someone came and took a few boxes for us...........</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhbxBM_aZ3CoHBMFrL2CXtm7B0kqh7Twm2xIMHtuVl-xhm9QFfakFmXQavHfjnSP3G7e0spJl81iU3jS0TyotWu3Ixlso-fYP1wM4H8jBTymWigz27NaGPwXWb2VQg4gIMNtsbmN0u0ioV7yCDAsNT19pHDAok70Wvo0sNPib00AzxJWB11u5iYHB8/s1280/20220619_110820.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhbxBM_aZ3CoHBMFrL2CXtm7B0kqh7Twm2xIMHtuVl-xhm9QFfakFmXQavHfjnSP3G7e0spJl81iU3jS0TyotWu3Ixlso-fYP1wM4H8jBTymWigz27NaGPwXWb2VQg4gIMNtsbmN0u0ioV7yCDAsNT19pHDAok70Wvo0sNPib00AzxJWB11u5iYHB8/w300-h400/20220619_110820.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">We would love to sell the house right now as prices are so strong, so our fingers are tightly crossed that interest rate rises and fears of looming recessions can wait just a little for us.

Just recently we had a little break in <a href="https://southaustralia.com/destinations/yorke-peninsula/places/wallaroo" target="_blank">Wallaroo</a>. This was a "gift" from the <a href="https://www.cancersa.org.au" target="_blank">The Cancer Council of South Australia</a> and reminded me of the incredible services that they provide. So with the <a href="https://www.biggestmorningtea.com.au" target="_blank">Biggest Morning Tea</a> not far away it also reminded me how our fund-raising is so worthwhile and this time we were the recipient of one of their services.

I will finish with some lovely news I heard recently regarding my replica 1863 wedding quilt that belonged to Beatrix Potter's parents. There is currently a <a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/beatrix-potter-drawn-to-nature" target="_blank">Beatrix Potter Exhibition</a> being held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and I noticed on the link that this exhibition is on until January next year I think the original wedding quilt is on display so my replica is out and resting on Beatrix Potter's bed at <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/beatrix-potters-hill-top" target="_blank">Hill Top</a> for the entire year as well. I am pretty chuffed with that too!

I feel fortunate that I didn't get this diagnosis much younger as that seems to be the norm with this type of breast cancer, so I am constantly <i>thinking of others</i> who I have met online that have lost their lives at such young ages. There is no treatment available if the cancer returns, unlike the more common hormone positive breast cancers where patients take hormone blockers for up to 5 years and have more options. But on a positive note there is much research being done including new immunotherapies to give some hope. I know I am not out of the woods yet and that is something that plays on my mind every day.......so Larry and I have decided we need to take the plunge and make some decisions for what is left of our lives. We have dreamed for some years now of moving to the country where we can 'slow down' and enjoy a small village community. That is on the horizon for us and we hope should happen by the end of the year....so for now I will dream about new garden designs and ideas........sorry if one of these images is your home that I captured without your permission but it comes with my admiration!........</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhAFsE3k6Eqjz4MBThxOByc-vp4jOCrP_Wp-V6_wPTztzSEe6x7un3tRrGdoJSuA5plE5TcMsZ57SHiLhG5ISy77_eIRRafzxi18z5TOotfLnUGpqwoE6ugOjMn9153x8TkcYKfziw5xh1LhUTniIRHLZ7ND_BAojBIf7fvAg8b4kBSNIEQqPZsgrI1=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhAFsE3k6Eqjz4MBThxOByc-vp4jOCrP_Wp-V6_wPTztzSEe6x7un3tRrGdoJSuA5plE5TcMsZ57SHiLhG5ISy77_eIRRafzxi18z5TOotfLnUGpqwoE6ugOjMn9153x8TkcYKfziw5xh1LhUTniIRHLZ7ND_BAojBIf7fvAg8b4kBSNIEQqPZsgrI1=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5tNhWHhpUu1aT19K_aGbDb7XRfPAZ4mr72Ly2MVwO979COmMUyG-7kATE0QjdnwXuL-AR5kJRx5w2I1yYOp5s7gEUACG5n8me3YP7nZgd8JRexOHa6KRnf872ZlHI2ENNz5M9HjbKzehYevJAQL0sv_cyRam9ZqawlRKamt-4M0wGh9l4JDubELoG=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5tNhWHhpUu1aT19K_aGbDb7XRfPAZ4mr72Ly2MVwO979COmMUyG-7kATE0QjdnwXuL-AR5kJRx5w2I1yYOp5s7gEUACG5n8me3YP7nZgd8JRexOHa6KRnf872ZlHI2ENNz5M9HjbKzehYevJAQL0sv_cyRam9ZqawlRKamt-4M0wGh9l4JDubELoG=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5zllYx6Ti747-iADYfoHbxg45H6FEU3eq86z_zMOveKBndmqMJamjtLYpg_Cxf4kDfZvNFUVxIBoTQZq6ZRu6B7ULrOvF65Mtb7K_DyY85TZ6_ItIlAZLyFDT6V6NY0fi9w3GcG1YiPwn3zg11vFrYoRWjNlz675xwMdQ2bVIJu3UBbpGg706k6Du=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5zllYx6Ti747-iADYfoHbxg45H6FEU3eq86z_zMOveKBndmqMJamjtLYpg_Cxf4kDfZvNFUVxIBoTQZq6ZRu6B7ULrOvF65Mtb7K_DyY85TZ6_ItIlAZLyFDT6V6NY0fi9w3GcG1YiPwn3zg11vFrYoRWjNlz675xwMdQ2bVIJu3UBbpGg706k6Du=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvUn5EAVx06WrJ6rvNVLBC_QaI-px7MzHfZ0xMJDy4LeNwBiRfY8PmSZcVGmAlBGcnUNs_zPk1JeRaD9kuh9e61DTJWH5egjW4w-09jO_lVv2-iNRAK6juQR85QxMUcUaNgUO9qyaJThwnnTppM-WwsRkBPHn0BWDcClpSBIig9SdInkMT4jfE8SyQ=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvUn5EAVx06WrJ6rvNVLBC_QaI-px7MzHfZ0xMJDy4LeNwBiRfY8PmSZcVGmAlBGcnUNs_zPk1JeRaD9kuh9e61DTJWH5egjW4w-09jO_lVv2-iNRAK6juQR85QxMUcUaNgUO9qyaJThwnnTppM-WwsRkBPHn0BWDcClpSBIig9SdInkMT4jfE8SyQ=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">We have had two special birthdays this past month...young Beau turned 10 and our first born turned 40!

They are the <a href="https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity/plant/bees-and-wasps/australian-paper-wasps" target="_blank">Australian Paper Wasp</a> that people often confuse with the <a href="https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/european-wasp/european-wasp-identification-guide" target="_blank">European wasp</a>, so being less dangerous we decided to leave them alone. We did our research and read that they are beneficial to the environment and pollination, but then we read that they like to eat caterpillars so it explained why some of the tiny monarch butterfly caterpillars were disappearing.

Why Journal?<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Sometimes I think it is a selfish thing to blog....maybe even rather "self centred" but I have never wanted to portray that as it is such a public forum. I know it can be an effective platform to advertise sales and I too do a little of that with the promotion of the William Morris Tours. I have to say that working for Helen Bertram at <a href="https://www.whitecrofttours.co.uk" target="_blank">Whitecroft Tours</a> for many years, this blog became incredibly effective and very successful with seven sold out tours to the UK! I will never be thankful enough for all that Helen did to facilitate all of that and of course my heart overflows with all of you who joined us.

Why journal? I know <a href="http://newsfromjude.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Judy</a> does it as a historical record resulting in printed journals as a record of her life for her family. I started blogging almost 14 years ago instead of paying out mega dollars to set up a website! But over time it has probably become a little personal - after all it was supposed to be <i>"Keeping the genius of Morris alive"</i>!! But I also know so many of you have enjoyed my ramblings by the feedback you have so kindly sent me. While life is <i>"on hold"</i> for so many of us as we work through this very long pandemic it means the blog has changed as there is no exciting travel full of memorable images to share. .....</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjV0PmlvFxOUSVDGZHFp7Gpy-4ABBA6HgnOjTrq9LD-mIdn717fe1YrUV_AnIDvFikQPU3CoapWxGK-LNeHm6iMaV3JWoIu9yXmz8zlRuOdVOcHv1lD0M4_rdsIPntymXFDmDh2NK8NwRzR1oybm6PQ6UB0O5qgHX0XWGzl1lmAabZyQ9g0IzKATBWm=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="857" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjV0PmlvFxOUSVDGZHFp7Gpy-4ABBA6HgnOjTrq9LD-mIdn717fe1YrUV_AnIDvFikQPU3CoapWxGK-LNeHm6iMaV3JWoIu9yXmz8zlRuOdVOcHv1lD0M4_rdsIPntymXFDmDh2NK8NwRzR1oybm6PQ6UB0O5qgHX0XWGzl1lmAabZyQ9g0IzKATBWm=s320" width="214" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Everyone has their fair share of ups and downs and we have certainly had that too, and so while all might seem well it is often behind the scenes that it isn't. But we are all okay and making the most of what life throws at us. I started writing (in pen!!), a journal today and found that very cathartic. I have done this in the past and have certainly had the need these past few years but it has often ended up scribbles on bits of paper. So I hope the blog is a positive thing for both you and me with hope for us all. We took the two older children to see the new <a href="https://www.victor.sa.gov.au/notice-board/projects/currentprojects/granite-island-causeway" target="_blank">Granite Island Causeway</a> last week. It was a very hot day so we walked out to the island and came back by the horse drawn tram. Sadly the cafe on the island is "permanently closed" and that was tough as so many of us were ready for some refreshment!......</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhATg2bLBa_IO0IrlmNRywIMOhdSo_wi1n6jwZXnQoEESNkCRcyG_9tvcIP1ek7TROPFM1nP4mBWYx5Br7PqWq7dq7ouyYDyP89B9z685Mn07SPfZ7gnepm67Kx-dN8UdGiSm5xzSy21ZzT56tz56t-wuPwaf_DuLSziprk5H5uZF6k9rd01x_csVgR=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhATg2bLBa_IO0IrlmNRywIMOhdSo_wi1n6jwZXnQoEESNkCRcyG_9tvcIP1ek7TROPFM1nP4mBWYx5Br7PqWq7dq7ouyYDyP89B9z685Mn07SPfZ7gnepm67Kx-dN8UdGiSm5xzSy21ZzT56tz56t-wuPwaf_DuLSziprk5H5uZF6k9rd01x_csVgR=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz2Z9qh6MNevC584jN0HThoDcV_z-0hwQmJit77ZD8yUr3w5Q4PYzQYU2z118-ruXjR7I4co6AOIzKYCeYUL5t-7xfitgMst87-IDYAUYFoYmYlgb9Za5efbHB4KYbgkfNSYo8mshkHGLXxder8YBnGCCM7UnDyCRSvCv7BPuS9EPD0yH4EOP7CsqP=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz2Z9qh6MNevC584jN0HThoDcV_z-0hwQmJit77ZD8yUr3w5Q4PYzQYU2z118-ruXjR7I4co6AOIzKYCeYUL5t-7xfitgMst87-IDYAUYFoYmYlgb9Za5efbHB4KYbgkfNSYo8mshkHGLXxder8YBnGCCM7UnDyCRSvCv7BPuS9EPD0yH4EOP7CsqP=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjS-0HBAjVWUOH6pbPNC0sC84G1mzVIqZeeuY3M5_TFSH1Hi7CvKgQ42Ncmu1Dv6rkMBidg90Mb42UtqX5PNXZax2aJaE5c5bKw_NIpdZ1tASZMrCUho76eHZN74l21Gi3cwOdztE_B9MO4qeFiIJMsQwM5xyD7OQMngAdESw_A31WLUlkIWZ6JcYcS=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjS-0HBAjVWUOH6pbPNC0sC84G1mzVIqZeeuY3M5_TFSH1Hi7CvKgQ42Ncmu1Dv6rkMBidg90Mb42UtqX5PNXZax2aJaE5c5bKw_NIpdZ1tASZMrCUho76eHZN74l21Gi3cwOdztE_B9MO4qeFiIJMsQwM5xyD7OQMngAdESw_A31WLUlkIWZ6JcYcS=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4i5et3HBVAkzGpKyZyJvQKWa1AsjOd13tFnaBEK9-L7Z7SLWFo37uKPthihysNSqcyqPrhoT1iS0lmllTHo7I5za5OZ2D0HPvsWUVW5TmmnNd3Or31JIbVJghJxmWE7SGAYnYIvQ556mZXgrqNfHekONpGQ5TwcIzfh9pRGWAp8ne1UTJgiSOqTAE=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4i5et3HBVAkzGpKyZyJvQKWa1AsjOd13tFnaBEK9-L7Z7SLWFo37uKPthihysNSqcyqPrhoT1iS0lmllTHo7I5za5OZ2D0HPvsWUVW5TmmnNd3Or31JIbVJghJxmWE7SGAYnYIvQ556mZXgrqNfHekONpGQ5TwcIzfh9pRGWAp8ne1UTJgiSOqTAE=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJ9FwvhKfk7ibnmCqrxllqUvNJ1QoF2dYgaI2Q4iCtzWkIXlDdmK11dh3E4cmc5sfHrOkgPCIMyU2PLrZ-oUo0unGYa4x6oxryvDXcuvUwLi3XFfrn4zY3DU0cnQo35lnGtRVyUU2yKyKTKIXIhih0_o-UN83mzUj2FfZrJN9LXMQLCVAwbklRUXNQ=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJ9FwvhKfk7ibnmCqrxllqUvNJ1QoF2dYgaI2Q4iCtzWkIXlDdmK11dh3E4cmc5sfHrOkgPCIMyU2PLrZ-oUo0unGYa4x6oxryvDXcuvUwLi3XFfrn4zY3DU0cnQo35lnGtRVyUU2yKyKTKIXIhih0_o-UN83mzUj2FfZrJN9LXMQLCVAwbklRUXNQ=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I got a 'bee in my bonnet' a week or so ago when I decided I wanted to paint our front door black!

So for now they just sit on the shelf in the linen press and I look at them from time to time!......</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgI6Qyoy8ta0wCtE0eWourJqTRp7lMbXMlBPEeCCRwGp75M3kEtmpeC-dn5zhvRWVSS62PIG-Ih4xKQNeZtWMVdX3bEJ8yKM3GhgKyEUI-vI1PYUmWH-gV737HAE0Hu1jNCjfbLIIr0FZzvrASohRt63KyTVknyadwgkbjxpq_4I0u9eOG5azm7zh6R=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgI6Qyoy8ta0wCtE0eWourJqTRp7lMbXMlBPEeCCRwGp75M3kEtmpeC-dn5zhvRWVSS62PIG-Ih4xKQNeZtWMVdX3bEJ8yKM3GhgKyEUI-vI1PYUmWH-gV737HAE0Hu1jNCjfbLIIr0FZzvrASohRt63KyTVknyadwgkbjxpq_4I0u9eOG5azm7zh6R=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPKG8I5G_BhEMSdEWncaEOo7vFnPegh1jD-ye0B-8rRBW1VD1_6GZt9xRosZuxPn1EhrqKV-R2vb9XkOFRuPtDAURUg7HG3iNJz057Ti6aiNhlD4cPuwcWu3gQvzjYdmqXlelGBOeP_c3fuylE1ub0NHJmfckaaGuh9NbtHoWyN0OA0wr-Vx6yWnz1=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPKG8I5G_BhEMSdEWncaEOo7vFnPegh1jD-ye0B-8rRBW1VD1_6GZt9xRosZuxPn1EhrqKV-R2vb9XkOFRuPtDAURUg7HG3iNJz057Ti6aiNhlD4cPuwcWu3gQvzjYdmqXlelGBOeP_c3fuylE1ub0NHJmfckaaGuh9NbtHoWyN0OA0wr-Vx6yWnz1=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhD33aPp9So84UiGklvQbDAwwpnYVzkOqquefCqeuLvbaNcA1G8n8NT7fRUvh5bQtkNX_MfpPy69MRGJazVctMm8OH64mFjgDNXfgYxKYtw__0CttnU4VGiJBK93NiYpFk884O3mSKPbpU84zP3xg62e23o5nKuwTXVAHYgkKqkRBZR0UL8aLXklUfE=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhD33aPp9So84UiGklvQbDAwwpnYVzkOqquefCqeuLvbaNcA1G8n8NT7fRUvh5bQtkNX_MfpPy69MRGJazVctMm8OH64mFjgDNXfgYxKYtw__0CttnU4VGiJBK93NiYpFk884O3mSKPbpU84zP3xg62e23o5nKuwTXVAHYgkKqkRBZR0UL8aLXklUfE=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGReG3xmn-BnaGjaFrGvekDDTwBGeH-jxlPXE72fbLZ2TwwMTns-4VYhbrIZqpn6oyGTPJfJaBOK4i1ywTmCyMFlbwwob_cjnhaCnVSHnKzEF7dV4QMQ52PETQlazbOb7-ebPf-fLgeZ4l4U86jLoJJlxzI9v1MyosznbdVsLsCsSoQgf8nq5SH8vX=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGReG3xmn-BnaGjaFrGvekDDTwBGeH-jxlPXE72fbLZ2TwwMTns-4VYhbrIZqpn6oyGTPJfJaBOK4i1ywTmCyMFlbwwob_cjnhaCnVSHnKzEF7dV4QMQ52PETQlazbOb7-ebPf-fLgeZ4l4U86jLoJJlxzI9v1MyosznbdVsLsCsSoQgf8nq5SH8vX=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3_ffea2T4xdY1TVh8N6rRr5oDNRHxbD5TUGCleihv-9hnnlb3knsP_0MaLzILM2LIL2M3nBcoBET67s7Vz9vYy8FPbD9BM--FTswYbl9zA9yzKT3xtn6KfMCPFRyzVVCai3ZNb66IOBljvat5RPOe8x0uza0811nDTa03thYOOnYNCMHRVps73Dd0=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3_ffea2T4xdY1TVh8N6rRr5oDNRHxbD5TUGCleihv-9hnnlb3knsP_0MaLzILM2LIL2M3nBcoBET67s7Vz9vYy8FPbD9BM--FTswYbl9zA9yzKT3xtn6KfMCPFRyzVVCai3ZNb66IOBljvat5RPOe8x0uza0811nDTa03thYOOnYNCMHRVps73Dd0=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg51mln7xZP8XBSJyuNfuZqJaP27_pPoU_GvXO9vX18cuxZm4yxkrp8W3ygkdqEKHJqsaXKM1K9oA6s8Jmha29KinrwpBabU55Qc9F46eSD9P-m_l14fUn23IuM77sk9OOnroVh9EIwRF_FcKlIhB_bz2Co2iMejAF8DhQ7mb8tmVEenktEgOBCW8lm=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg51mln7xZP8XBSJyuNfuZqJaP27_pPoU_GvXO9vX18cuxZm4yxkrp8W3ygkdqEKHJqsaXKM1K9oA6s8Jmha29KinrwpBabU55Qc9F46eSD9P-m_l14fUn23IuM77sk9OOnroVh9EIwRF_FcKlIhB_bz2Co2iMejAF8DhQ7mb8tmVEenktEgOBCW8lm=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the past few weeks I have also completed the beautiful embroidery kit that I purchased from <a href="https://www.kasiajacquot.com/embroidery-shop" target="_blank">Kasia Jacquot</a> that I mentioned in my last blog post. I have thoroughly enjoyed stitching on linen and it was a new experience for me using the entire 6 strands of thread. I think for me Kasia's embroidery is <i>flowing and free</i>...maybe the word <i>organic</i> that is used a lot these days says it all?!! I also love the sense of freedom of not having to be a perfectionist and the design builds up so fast....most satisfying for me! I am thinking of doing several different panels and perhaps turning them into a bag. Thankyou so much Kasia x</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-nuJbGzOmgwXlwPpm28RljPlfuIgR-4FBkiwaHbgWjxgqZY4dyNbRkXRTQvYypEQeQr6IotdMqZw53yaEw_WTFBM_TWQiV_YNylr4WLMhiUBLs6OQX_Wb7mxggNMsxW51rykyQv7jSrq3slcuBtcPfGKZKq8NKtjvMqmXZ0X1KcRm_9G86eZGzka8=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-nuJbGzOmgwXlwPpm28RljPlfuIgR-4FBkiwaHbgWjxgqZY4dyNbRkXRTQvYypEQeQr6IotdMqZw53yaEw_WTFBM_TWQiV_YNylr4WLMhiUBLs6OQX_Wb7mxggNMsxW51rykyQv7jSrq3slcuBtcPfGKZKq8NKtjvMqmXZ0X1KcRm_9G86eZGzka8=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5wgqy5GdDu3e52bdOZweWvzaXsV6EtAAtR24r7bca5U4dVKMN9irs0SUsKDcwqs6JyZ3p1boPOGZOEgA7AjLptyf6ZXDpa-5tpB0TfI1chRuUmvXjTP7Bhc-zMq75o34MdyVRdwVJxOr69jZ3e76lBNU6ru9XWylJtbrA8ne2tccF61wzM2X82_sY=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5wgqy5GdDu3e52bdOZweWvzaXsV6EtAAtR24r7bca5U4dVKMN9irs0SUsKDcwqs6JyZ3p1boPOGZOEgA7AjLptyf6ZXDpa-5tpB0TfI1chRuUmvXjTP7Bhc-zMq75o34MdyVRdwVJxOr69jZ3e76lBNU6ru9XWylJtbrA8ne2tccF61wzM2X82_sY=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFRnayl-8CeT0gbHa4f-VUvyQwmKciYLjH_kKBx9Ll4vXKTwUKSF3QDtqySDuzjscTE69lRBa4NO2cX4VEY5D-kfZ4x7c-IFWhGYkl_DVw3PIB2PLyPELpLgGjFrYXSrQV5basS28FsbKqk-cx55WWl4mFS9og_sel1uo3zzxLGPMDX7_tLurn-Rco=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFRnayl-8CeT0gbHa4f-VUvyQwmKciYLjH_kKBx9Ll4vXKTwUKSF3QDtqySDuzjscTE69lRBa4NO2cX4VEY5D-kfZ4x7c-IFWhGYkl_DVw3PIB2PLyPELpLgGjFrYXSrQV5basS28FsbKqk-cx55WWl4mFS9og_sel1uo3zzxLGPMDX7_tLurn-Rco=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNGlVGcE5Jqos34wL8agKjQTjvIzJqBkmmOWeYg044x_eAaqmcB1iuBoX3XDJab1_VuT0e5gYnOarfugyDAr-PX9BwcqEGMuTsmJJQvZuxG0BWFeJgRSpDQNO-VBh5V72582igGKh8vfHWaMHJ5Pk4GFOONTjltChmSHrkE8h3t0c37BCZ7W34VWB5=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNGlVGcE5Jqos34wL8agKjQTjvIzJqBkmmOWeYg044x_eAaqmcB1iuBoX3XDJab1_VuT0e5gYnOarfugyDAr-PX9BwcqEGMuTsmJJQvZuxG0BWFeJgRSpDQNO-VBh5V72582igGKh8vfHWaMHJ5Pk4GFOONTjltChmSHrkE8h3t0c37BCZ7W34VWB5=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqzd00ciWK7BvOYmdxeBh5GN458kTzjTgD2zutK4qEWjc2vc-0KbG0DWY2PinMsj6VkPcUMZ6yWitp4YojP5V8pTx9CyCpyFihlK0pXT_i9q6-FNAC5JZBmolwuvFDVSutbehREsxiDj7cCpIbJr7AeCYwZodfKfBmX2An1ZOLTXfRZzYsPFadF_5r=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="857" data-original-width="1280" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqzd00ciWK7BvOYmdxeBh5GN458kTzjTgD2zutK4qEWjc2vc-0KbG0DWY2PinMsj6VkPcUMZ6yWitp4YojP5V8pTx9CyCpyFihlK0pXT_i9q6-FNAC5JZBmolwuvFDVSutbehREsxiDj7cCpIbJr7AeCYwZodfKfBmX2An1ZOLTXfRZzYsPFadF_5r=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6YAp-1wnUyyKygr7F40IjNM5tZY-1M_2VdXegIDxw3iSDe-BgX5t-VMH8kQZ3ur5bEkewtHV1fvaWUPHzhP64APJW3fXUevuEat70D7ecuhadEMYuOn5lIhc6LAWzXkkcUvpT-0bpAQ9fHRMSx46JxPziKP-D5c0_Y-gKmMEABK-I1pbb1WN1gBRs=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="857" data-original-width="1280" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6YAp-1wnUyyKygr7F40IjNM5tZY-1M_2VdXegIDxw3iSDe-BgX5t-VMH8kQZ3ur5bEkewtHV1fvaWUPHzhP64APJW3fXUevuEat70D7ecuhadEMYuOn5lIhc6LAWzXkkcUvpT-0bpAQ9fHRMSx46JxPziKP-D5c0_Y-gKmMEABK-I1pbb1WN1gBRs=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course quilting is never far away.

It is nice to be <i>capturing moments </i>to enjoy what life has to offer even without guarantees. I continue to be full of complaints on a daily basis and Larry is incredibly patient especially with the very real fear of cancer recurrence after having two unexpected issues in recent weeks. I also have lingering neuropathy from the chemotherapy and I am reminded every day when I can't do the simplest of tasks. One day I decided to move some bricks and found blood dripping from my fingers and I hadn't even felt the injury! I think it is quite possibly time I used this beautiful gift that Emily gave me well over a year ago but I think they are too nice to use!!......</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiF2Q8kqUa4jR7slrM4uWFx9o_PIuoCzKZ0B7i6QzHNAcYnhcjrTFKELQwKrqcN4lZ8IhwOqv_GFMCaovPfKr9jGLuNUWCTriuPgl2Dk3HvG8Jt6NT2jlDsnfqgfxuTQxSipLU-bWs2Xomt7ndtvWpWnE3j23-h7DQAELgqqn41wmvvoHqh6L-R0P8l=s1280" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="857" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiF2Q8kqUa4jR7slrM4uWFx9o_PIuoCzKZ0B7i6QzHNAcYnhcjrTFKELQwKrqcN4lZ8IhwOqv_GFMCaovPfKr9jGLuNUWCTriuPgl2Dk3HvG8Jt6NT2jlDsnfqgfxuTQxSipLU-bWs2Xomt7ndtvWpWnE3j23-h7DQAELgqqn41wmvvoHqh6L-R0P8l=s320" width="214" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEzkECfCgGkn2StgxHobdA1_g2lPjSIuRyZo4KHqAyw9r_6iYN2T0Izknp3DIxyI8olfs1kcZKmACFK-HCBXAT7VFqaHiliEcO62gBjXjqeB0YHI553u-QZHOZdD8d-yrNbH-gjPSYQ2YMxgHlwnzDIVfjLbh5El0yPwOxGKPPnDlbNwkrZMpcWXdW=s1280" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="857" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEzkECfCgGkn2StgxHobdA1_g2lPjSIuRyZo4KHqAyw9r_6iYN2T0Izknp3DIxyI8olfs1kcZKmACFK-HCBXAT7VFqaHiliEcO62gBjXjqeB0YHI553u-QZHOZdD8d-yrNbH-gjPSYQ2YMxgHlwnzDIVfjLbh5El0yPwOxGKPPnDlbNwkrZMpcWXdW=s320" width="214" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But there is so much I can do and Christmas and New year has come and gone too.

As an ambassador we are often asked to make quilts for display and this time it was to celebrate 125 years of the Bernina brand. That event was over 3 years ago and they asked if they could have my quilt for a while longer to hang in their training centre. I made a detachable banner that was attached with magnetic studs to the top of the quilt but I had always planned for it to hang in my sewing room after the event without the banner. So I was thrilled to have it come home just before Christmas. So much has happened in that 3 years and it seems like just a year ago that I made it!........</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiy9Q7i5HpUg1JdZWEkgEWoeU3dEMSSLmC-1yTsHRIiF37uNjNnXxeQeWc_BvC4iEKWgqeeN3b8q4g5K8Dfp-WFcwxarcbC1A7mSrOVoJL1o7t-w6_szAwVlSkllnUCmFkCLXAqM1f6o9AAxx4mR_Mwkr11r_yQy_esjw30Zl7USBQLu5VSqLUeuP5m=s1280" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiy9Q7i5HpUg1JdZWEkgEWoeU3dEMSSLmC-1yTsHRIiF37uNjNnXxeQeWc_BvC4iEKWgqeeN3b8q4g5K8Dfp-WFcwxarcbC1A7mSrOVoJL1o7t-w6_szAwVlSkllnUCmFkCLXAqM1f6o9AAxx4mR_Mwkr11r_yQy_esjw30Zl7USBQLu5VSqLUeuP5m=s320" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioZ3EqBsX4T3EyiMI4qW7KZVoVFiHGRA7gqByshxxrYdTUcu0yc2Cl49BXNKuN0DHhFofDSBAd_58sdxAGgrJJL2u1lZUMZtwNnQ4skIJm9-2XuAzYKR0i8PvL5RwhP8m6Ulqho9T5NR_IsYS_fQqlop_JXtSiFo5N6Gl16Goobo1Kbm33At9-H3m7=s1280" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="958" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioZ3EqBsX4T3EyiMI4qW7KZVoVFiHGRA7gqByshxxrYdTUcu0yc2Cl49BXNKuN0DHhFofDSBAd_58sdxAGgrJJL2u1lZUMZtwNnQ4skIJm9-2XuAzYKR0i8PvL5RwhP8m6Ulqho9T5NR_IsYS_fQqlop_JXtSiFo5N6Gl16Goobo1Kbm33At9-H3m7=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This past week we have had Beau and Maisie for several days as it is school holidays and Mum and Dad are back at work.

I asked her if I could ask Faye to long-arm quilt it for us in an all-over hearts pattern (thanks again Faye!), but Maisie insisted that she wanted to quilt it all too!

Larry now has a kit tucked aside for my birthday next month but I just had to have a peek when it arrived today! There is a wonderful letter to the purchaser.....I hope you can read it as she talks about not looking for perfection and that one must enjoy the process.......more<i> joy</i> and an ideal I just love and agree with! I love Kasia's designs with a touch of her folk heritage and I am looking forward to stitching it.

My final note of<i> joy</i> is perhaps the <i>joy</i> that others might enjoy .......I have some of my quilts for sale again! You can see a link on the side of this blog or here at this link: <a href="https://williammorrisandmichele.blogspot.com/p/quilts-for-sale.html" target="_blank">Quilts for Sale</a>.

It has been almost 7 weeks since I chatted and a lot has happened in that time.....two more lots of surgery are behind me and the crazy chemo curls are still with me (but I am trying to embrace them with more colourful headbands), so now it is time to move forward to more positive things.... if we can during this uncertain era of Covid. Our thoughts have most definitely been with our neighbours in New South Wales as they grapple with the increasing daily statistics of the delta strain. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am sure we all need something joyous to look forward to so maybe you would like to join me in just over 3 months time (if the jolly borders are open!), on another <a href="https://renaissancetours.com.au/tours/short-breaks/william-morris-in-adelaide-2021-nov/" target="_blank">William Morris in Adelaide</a> tour...in fact this will be the 8th tour I have had the pleasure of sharing since 2018. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So if this tickles your fancy and you would like to join me for a wonderful week forgetting about all of our worries then let the great team at <a href="https://renaissancetours.com.au/tours/short-breaks/william-morris-in-adelaide-2021-nov/" target="_blank">Renaissance Tours</a> know.......tell them I sent you!! This is just a very tiny glimpse of what we will see (and in no particular order).......sumptuous furnishings, decorative art, traditional Adelaide architecture, beautiful gardens and a whole lot more..........</span></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRsxGZfnpUrOEoXdhlIWE6tRDfH8WM6q8NjBnjIVEowlA4RfYorfiOuIGAn_r-75FMXIFnpDzxh8Fb_D-Iaymt0lR_xJjLGm5z6_xNlYMQ5PuJFUgcddY45RfZTyxx3J3olV09XusxN0E/s1280/WP_20150813_017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I had to be at the hospital before 7am so I'd had little sleep, but I knew the anaesthetic would soon fix that as I was about to embark on another lot of surgery. Going through those hospital doors always brings some anxiety and I counted in my diary that this was visit number 41 since my diagnosis last year and only 6 of them were with Larry.....Covid put a stop to that and I can tell you enduring life saving procedures (especially the weekly chemo), was really tough without him beside me.......</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyJHE8EXq84R9Eg0tyjjuMopvACL_WGPVB7Lr89Mpi5zTEjbpFFHicG-HLb9ghFExDYPL-2p82zlRcIdLqN-FZzppMRMnpmowTKcS83ORmDbsokgctD761S3HW2Og-BT0osXzsqVtUA4/s1280/20210701_200339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyJHE8EXq84R9Eg0tyjjuMopvACL_WGPVB7Lr89Mpi5zTEjbpFFHicG-HLb9ghFExDYPL-2p82zlRcIdLqN-FZzppMRMnpmowTKcS83ORmDbsokgctD761S3HW2Og-BT0osXzsqVtUA4/s320/20210701_200339.jpg" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">According to my consent form this recent procedure was <i>"excision of redundant tissue post bilateral mastectomies"</i>. When the surgeon's nurse rang me the next day she asked if I was feeling "trussed up" which made me immediately think of the Christmas turkey! Not sure how it feels but I do know sleep is not so comfortable as now my original wounds extend around to my back......almost feels like I was partially decapitated and stitched back up again! I have another anaesthetic in 2 weeks, this time to remove the BRCA2 threat of ovarian cancer. Sometimes I feel that this is overkill and maybe <i>'ignorance is bliss'</i> but one has to go with the medical advice from my specialists. Knowing I have this gene defect also carries the risk of pancreatic cancer, melanoma and colon and stomach cancer, but who knows what tomorrow will bring for any of us?. So days by the seaside even in the winter chill are so nice but I felt for the young ones still doing their life saving training.......</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKt_RDkaT3pJky6Wx0-fcYuN9cl5kFjvnW-9COpwRibeDRdYy5OglWxTI6P7ocZBDiREhqZS1ACB6bvXMxAlS5NtvPUwEZZmgS1FXHUwNeTr7KsBp4Ib2bG-V0eC23FcjHyDuZInNFfAo/s1280/20210701_200421.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

One of them is that I have never truly got over how difficult publishing my William Morris books really was. I have little financial reward to show for it but I certainly have incredible memories that would not have happened without the books...especially the William Morris Tours both in the UK and at home. I still feel sad when I see the books are still selling and any royalty payment (that only comes once a year), hardly covers a new outfit! Merchandise are still produced and for me there is no royalty at all.......I am certainly not a business person! More recently Instagram has been flooded with images of my designs in Russia. Another regretful decision that I did signing over the rights for the books to be printed in Russian all for a pittance so that I receive no royalty at all....but I am glad the books bring others joy and I hope William Morris would be pleased.......</span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIge9jitfmpxhu09s0t2UPb3DbHPlgvS_Es2vSq22cLca1tFpN-tWitm8OOhYE6sbGCXaH_W5_whnXuWI788lHCvKO4NeGUsD_qy_tVR8cO7p7UCZBqR6WgkODDKkjNzXUJUT0bswbaa0/s1189/20210704_101228.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1189" data-original-width="687" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIge9jitfmpxhu09s0t2UPb3DbHPlgvS_Es2vSq22cLca1tFpN-tWitm8OOhYE6sbGCXaH_W5_whnXuWI788lHCvKO4NeGUsD_qy_tVR8cO7p7UCZBqR6WgkODDKkjNzXUJUT0bswbaa0/w231-h400/20210704_101228.jpg" width="231" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">When you become an author you are encouraged to have social media exposure including Facebook, Instagram (which I only did more recently), and of course to be a blogger which was the common thing back then. This is something I have struggled with all along when I started my blog back in 2008. I am not good at any sort of sales pitch or with being the centre of attention, but I have so loved meeting so many of you through this platform. <u>So one of the reasons for this post is to say I am going to be taking some time out from social media for a few weeks. </u>Being vulnerable has meant my normal positivity has taken a back seat. Having been the one who almost always instigates family and friend catch ups has tested me and is one of the things I have more recently struggled with. A couple of health professionals have noticed a change in my demeanour and had suggested I seek some counselling. So the day before this most recent surgery I had my first session with the most delightful psychologist who patiently listened to me for one and half hours......what a lovely smile Nicole has and her empathy and understanding shows.....</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGuRmlTVz_umvmqLvxHjoBiaRC_0slOQrMzxDtkReO38-FEMJ5ZFNIMvavKNXyOkPMNfqPHshi3WaWbeQ3lgJgMwXvAzIZ6yz4BSiXT6fGTowPNs-aASRwLzWjzMyviEq6GkKAJX8JjQE/s1502/nicole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1502" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGuRmlTVz_umvmqLvxHjoBiaRC_0slOQrMzxDtkReO38-FEMJ5ZFNIMvavKNXyOkPMNfqPHshi3WaWbeQ3lgJgMwXvAzIZ6yz4BSiXT6fGTowPNs-aASRwLzWjzMyviEq6GkKAJX8JjQE/s320/nicole.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.liftcancercare.com.au/meet-nicole" target="_blank">Photo source</a><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Inevitably the tears welled up but I know this is going to be a very positive thing for me to do. While I am grateful my hair is growing back it is truly challenging trying to manage it knowing it will possibly be two years before I look like I used to! I am grateful for life saving surgery and treatment but the disfigurement and discomfort is there to remind me each day. The pins and needles in the feet and the dropping of items from my numb hands, along with the other chemo side effects continue to linger and test my patience.....just for now as I know this too will pass. And I know I am not alone and so many others are in much worse situations than me....especially with all that the pandemic has brought to the world. I have followed two other breast cancer women who both have a high profile in media. They have both been incredibly positive and such fun to follow cheering me up each day with their cheeky sense of humour as they face treatment......but more recently they too have suffered mentally and I have to say that was incredibly reassuring to me as they are both such very positive people.

Some time back we bought a new refrigerator using power saving "Inverter" technology. Whilst we welcomed a much quieter fridge we weren't told that they run for 45 minutes and are quiet for only 15 minutes every hour! I sit in the family room for most of my TV viewing while Larry is in his snug. The noise does my head in so I talked him into moving it out to our laundry/utility room!

We are all okay but have had some sadness surrounding us for several weeks. Friends have lost parents, another succumbed to the enemy called cancer and our younger daughter continues the unenviable challenge of mental illness that affects us all. We've had a couple of funerals this week and that always reminds us that with life there is also death and one needs to make the most of every day.....that is such a cliche and for so many it is not that easy.

I have also recently received notification from the blogger platform to tell me that after July the email subscriber service will disappear so that might mean you no longer receive an email to say I have posted. I have read how I need to activate a new system but to be honest right now my "chemo brain" can't digest it all.......at least there are a few weeks before July but the way the year is going it will be July before we know it! We are puddling along with life here but I thought I would devote this entire post to something I saw recently that filled me with that wonderful feeling of WOW, WOW and WOW! I am sure we spend way too long browsing the net but when one comes across craftsmanship like this it simply has to be shared! It was on instagram that the feeling of WOW struck me.....a site from the UK by the name of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/artyrat7/" target="_blank">artyrat7</a> on instagram. I immediately contacted Ruth to get permission to share her photos and I was so thrilled when she said yes....thankyou so much Ruth! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCCVIG7mwCj7Cj3qHeqbgSLm-kq_sIaGiphCEaPSsr_1qooNaJ7Lwx-ctN64wTPiJG-znY2nqQYxLhnsVruApO905Fp6px-ABGiNb2YH6wABUq4bacVnZ1FwNls1n8z6VqGx4cPufgUmg/s1280/20210329_104409.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="675" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCCVIG7mwCj7Cj3qHeqbgSLm-kq_sIaGiphCEaPSsr_1qooNaJ7Lwx-ctN64wTPiJG-znY2nqQYxLhnsVruApO905Fp6px-ABGiNb2YH6wABUq4bacVnZ1FwNls1n8z6VqGx4cPufgUmg/w211-h400/20210329_104409.jpg" width="211" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">And then I discovered that her partner <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mmminiaturetreasures/" target="_blank">Michael Meakins</a> is involved with making this exquisite work too and you can visit his etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MMMiniatureTreasures?ref=search_shop_redirect" target="_blank">HERE</a> to purchase some of it for yourself.

We do need rain but the skies are not being sunny to our neighbours in New South Wales as they are having far too much rain. As if our country has not endured enough with the devastating bushfires of 2019/20, followed by the world pandemic and now severe flooding. Parts of Sydney have had to be evacuated and we witnessed on the news a home floating away belonging to a young couple who were to be married yesterday. Farmers have also been hit with a mouse plague so one wonders how much more they can take. So we are thinking of you all in the affected areas as we have visited and stayed with some of you on our quilting travels. Stay safe and our thoughts are with you. Meanwhile we are grateful to be safe and enjoying the sunshine as it shines into our living area. We have had to resort to an extra outdoor umbrella since the neighbours peach tree was removed but life is good......</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYyW7eGpjkUHGr6TQEq8xw1xKV8pREw5XapeLcFcCsSvHgX_bFWCW7e_A_0_yDGqSx6jqg2otuvqdali30BMmeLX8uHvh5Xr3hWOSKSfILepQ_ONWBHw2ykBl0i5-5QU_reSotN_9wwwY/s1280/20210321_121545.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I (like many others), have found the need to reach out to those who have been on this same detour I've been on.....especially those with the not so common triple negative type of breast cancer that has its own unique set of circumstances. I follow quite a few girls on Instagram but it saddens me that so many are so young. Many in their 20's and 30's struggling to care for little children while they cope with the challenge of treatment. But I have found so many to be so inspiring and personally I have gained a lot from many who have shared their most fragile and positive moments. It makes one feel like they are not alone and I have especially enjoyed some of the <i>motivational</i> quotes that they share. My favourite would have to be this one that I found from <a href="https://brenebrown.com" target="_blank">Brene Brown</a>....</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix67M5SNxOum77qwWnA-BenUgOfklrGnxQQrlKVsnpPIIqRdWxXMaIL33kL4bhf21meiliR-RTR-edxIb7Yt3gD65jM4d7M3ma_N1Ja490x85ZrDoHCRzvUlb-SaFqfJmOqV7bAtBA5uE/s921/positively-anxious-nic-one-day-you-will-tell-your-story-of-how-you-overcome-what-you-went-through-a-67558.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="921" data-original-width="736" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix67M5SNxOum77qwWnA-BenUgOfklrGnxQQrlKVsnpPIIqRdWxXMaIL33kL4bhf21meiliR-RTR-edxIb7Yt3gD65jM4d7M3ma_N1Ja490x85ZrDoHCRzvUlb-SaFqfJmOqV7bAtBA5uE/s320/positively-anxious-nic-one-day-you-will-tell-your-story-of-how-you-overcome-what-you-went-through-a-67558.jpg" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I've mentioned a few times before I have been toying with the idea of stopping this blog but an email from a stranger a few weeks ago tugged at my thoughts. It came soon after I had been apologising for sharing all the "personal stuff" and she asked me to keep sharing as she finds it <i>motivating</i> especially as she had also just recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I have also received messages on social media telling me I have been an inspiration!! I was a bit taken aback by that but came to realise that I too have sent messages to others thanking them for sharing their experience and that I also found them inspirational and <i>motivating</i>! So that quote from Brene sums it all up as does this one (that I am hoping is from Christin Lewis at the <a href="https://theluvuproject.org/about/our-story/" target="_blank">Luv u Project</a>).......</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF29Rf85VZaIbEEeAFN8y9Py2HZ-tLZPlDZ2Sp6_iPTQ6PsoTyNugsN__FutZRTestRD0MZ5XWY1w52q-8fILWCX0IyLC0nOcmv2CC432SrHocdOPdVCI9Wvddjzyy8DwT3vFdfTjAxs8/s625/130EBC11-3993-4F72-87AC-15D50944B7C8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="625" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF29Rf85VZaIbEEeAFN8y9Py2HZ-tLZPlDZ2Sp6_iPTQ6PsoTyNugsN__FutZRTestRD0MZ5XWY1w52q-8fILWCX0IyLC0nOcmv2CC432SrHocdOPdVCI9Wvddjzyy8DwT3vFdfTjAxs8/s320/130EBC11-3993-4F72-87AC-15D50944B7C8.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">And I can certainly attest to these very words.....one might look like they are being positive and smiling on the outside but inside they are often trying to stay afloat paddling like crazy! So if I help just one other person via this blog then I am glad. I saw my surgeon on Monday and found out I need to have some "tidy up" surgery on my chest. This is apparently not uncommon and as I am losing weight there is some extra unwanted (and uncomfortable), bulges that need to be removed from under both armpits! And of course I also have to have my ovaries and tubes removed but I've asked if I can have a few months break to truly get myself a little fitter and definitely a lot more <i>motivated</i>. I have started Pilates and am trying to walk a little more but the fatigue is still a daily challenge. I also asked the difficult question of "What now?" knowing that this type of breast cancer has a nasty habit of rearing its ugly head in the first couple of years. He said if I develop a cough or pain in my ribs I need to return pronto, so for now one needs to remove all those negative thoughts and get <i>motivated for</i> many years of good health ahead! And with these little people growing so fast we have lots to look forward to. Beau has turned nine since my last post and it was lovely to have the three of them together for some of his special day after school......</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlonB1P9MNtRkRjy9pVkBKpzlnxre03Y8-Re5qOEgD29oktZoa4_fyGbDjp_FS88sqcRl44JhuUw8FjnMMyzu8ZYqBQB1G0jHbeL8nrnka767iDzIWJG9DF67n4DKrW873UUJ_N9DsRHY/s1280/20210217_173331.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlonB1P9MNtRkRjy9pVkBKpzlnxre03Y8-Re5qOEgD29oktZoa4_fyGbDjp_FS88sqcRl44JhuUw8FjnMMyzu8ZYqBQB1G0jHbeL8nrnka767iDzIWJG9DF67n4DKrW873UUJ_N9DsRHY/s320/20210217_173331.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisGxl1KeI6_PCNYUt8PgyRgpQOMl3L__CTOFGlO2TR3ZUxiVKa8R-lO-VEOzHuC8JgIXQshu4zctDuCoKj1rfxMao-f8d-pBCIIFZpcdZyAdH5ihgMjOJ4cZbsEywX4CvWIgbZFf8shug/s1280/20210217_173558.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisGxl1KeI6_PCNYUt8PgyRgpQOMl3L__CTOFGlO2TR3ZUxiVKa8R-lO-VEOzHuC8JgIXQshu4zctDuCoKj1rfxMao-f8d-pBCIIFZpcdZyAdH5ihgMjOJ4cZbsEywX4CvWIgbZFf8shug/s320/20210217_173558.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpkjU_A1WYgR3-t3ZvIqr9WlrULNaAEr-z6mdXfzBTIt09a668nL-aQg_abQkZg5G1EqSPMdeZV7IWtzmIfnrXbdHNY7kitd3NQSBQyeNUkjaUsoCg9LVV5yQl3Jt_jhs8utEc28_N07Q/s1280/20210217_173644.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpkjU_A1WYgR3-t3ZvIqr9WlrULNaAEr-z6mdXfzBTIt09a668nL-aQg_abQkZg5G1EqSPMdeZV7IWtzmIfnrXbdHNY7kitd3NQSBQyeNUkjaUsoCg9LVV5yQl3Jt_jhs8utEc28_N07Q/s320/20210217_173644.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">with candles and photo album memories at the end of the day.......<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_rld5AkVUfpKg_c0vkSdKBJM_uv6x5uRm0HJbhAvoVhsdlQNeCMd3MeZ_-CrOem6tS9qDue5PMdLYHK4aT10QXMUM-XCFUNjl9WR11bQmvHqxbVkUKhOm1ARVKySPO4rjTuazExxEyY/s1280/20210217_185805.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_rld5AkVUfpKg_c0vkSdKBJM_uv6x5uRm0HJbhAvoVhsdlQNeCMd3MeZ_-CrOem6tS9qDue5PMdLYHK4aT10QXMUM-XCFUNjl9WR11bQmvHqxbVkUKhOm1ARVKySPO4rjTuazExxEyY/s320/20210217_185805.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIgBgg7LsOiIgG7S9Xqro-fi7YH-SmJ9ef_wu-D4VfLDZRVeAeyYqSlDjr69rh-J5nPYN4l_asZOAGHolR7dYEn6GO99137KHZ6xlFgs0ZbeGa1yyaOwFka8QyxiYvgqm3Kgp5q38kTSE/s1280/20210217_192934.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIgBgg7LsOiIgG7S9Xqro-fi7YH-SmJ9ef_wu-D4VfLDZRVeAeyYqSlDjr69rh-J5nPYN4l_asZOAGHolR7dYEn6GO99137KHZ6xlFgs0ZbeGa1yyaOwFka8QyxiYvgqm3Kgp5q38kTSE/s320/20210217_192934.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPAkC6GisLyE8z53aYSEDkTWD4Xp7j-6yzOmbmwavJtL5TM89JXivIZX5B7xNijk7uGBYMIQM_L9KZt6AfDdEtjiDBUzizSNmU04GrwTQ6RQYtMyG4tGR3RRJjnjjhvs5dcygdgO1Wek/s1280/20210217_192938.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPAkC6GisLyE8z53aYSEDkTWD4Xp7j-6yzOmbmwavJtL5TM89JXivIZX5B7xNijk7uGBYMIQM_L9KZt6AfDdEtjiDBUzizSNmU04GrwTQ6RQYtMyG4tGR3RRJjnjjhvs5dcygdgO1Wek/s320/20210217_192938.jpg" /></a></span></div><div><div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today is also a public holiday in our state for a jolly horse race of all things so I guess if that is your thing then we'll take the holiday! And it is also <a href="https://www.internationalwomensday.com" target="_blank">International Women's Day</a> (but I am sure there should be an International Men's Day as well especially acknowledging the support the man in this house has shown to me these past months....can I say that??!). So today we had the opportunity to meet a couple who came on one of my <a href="https://renaissancetours.com.au/tours/short-breaks/william-morris-in-adelaide-2021/" target="_blank">William Morris in Adelaide Tours</a> in 2018 (that I hope I can start again one day!). We shared a thoroughly enjoyable long lunch trying to solve the world's problems. Merrilyn and Rob had driven here from Wodonga in Victoria for Rob's sister's 60th birthday and I was thrilled when Merrilyn contacted us for a catch up while they were here. Google tells me the drive is a long one of 858 kms but they came a longer way to see more sights along the way. I met Merrilyn 9 years ago through quilting in Bright, Victoria and the blog is great for looking back on that day <a href="https://williammorrisandmichele.blogspot.com/2012/08/teaching-journey-almost-ended.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>! The day before that event we had driven to the snowfields and when Angela of <a href="https://www.sewbright.com.au" target="_blank">Sew Bright Alpine Sewing</a> found out I was in the area she rustled up some girls to join me for the day! And here is Merrilyn second from left.......we just immediately clicked and there was hardly any time to eat between the two hours of natter today......thankyou so much guys for a very enjoyable and <i>motivating</i> lunch date!.....</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7OD3_KHYAULaVUcbqduhXgierqdxGuZfacfhutgz9VafR6CUFX080AhZjxzkIMBKNAFjjOiUz4WG6d7LgEoPRUuE3vvhhT87yayEuJJ-fe752gneZvcYCJcXd88ETmcKECtFxlcjx-aA/s1600/DSC_1041.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1074" data-original-width="1600" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7OD3_KHYAULaVUcbqduhXgierqdxGuZfacfhutgz9VafR6CUFX080AhZjxzkIMBKNAFjjOiUz4WG6d7LgEoPRUuE3vvhhT87yayEuJJ-fe752gneZvcYCJcXd88ETmcKECtFxlcjx-aA/w400-h269/DSC_1041.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">When the energy levels allow w</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">e have been out and about and </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">we enjoyed a lovely country drive one day...... </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDilC72hdO44377diuAg0mKoIvj63UwdaI3qXP0dHN0v32TCIC00vpZg4kOqqZIrKLcHnrpfiuNgjlJd_NPuo8dZ9ii9GnHyrwMu1J802jtl4VjCQdebxWuX3zquZv9HdMQ973CZ8YhM/s1280/20210222_142007.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="804" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDilC72hdO44377diuAg0mKoIvj63UwdaI3qXP0dHN0v32TCIC00vpZg4kOqqZIrKLcHnrpfiuNgjlJd_NPuo8dZ9ii9GnHyrwMu1J802jtl4VjCQdebxWuX3zquZv9HdMQ973CZ8YhM/s320/20210222_142007.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXo5OLvoFsScYqrDzuGZCu0Ron1vYHPtcU9T_CH2KcEILkBAxzjhfnGep526piJPD0y1RM0AxLg_F95IGS9WtRwJ3e-AK2U5lE72_O9-RfUFDkJNPTipRcdWG-oempSH77McjiQg9YUNY/s1280/20210222_142049.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="787" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXo5OLvoFsScYqrDzuGZCu0Ron1vYHPtcU9T_CH2KcEILkBAxzjhfnGep526piJPD0y1RM0AxLg_F95IGS9WtRwJ3e-AK2U5lE72_O9-RfUFDkJNPTipRcdWG-oempSH77McjiQg9YUNY/s320/20210222_142049.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYGJR0RsXJcbQLihOHueI1dLw5uzndmBjBz6RxsOVgDVdyD7jUhAKK28WY2ZhVAEQmCe2Qiq_1s8RCFR0hS5IoJPicovI44BLdLPsbo3fn6cP7FzoluvPKbiyoDcnqSj0ZjHkAEJ55HYk/s1280/20210222_155511.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="794" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYGJR0RsXJcbQLihOHueI1dLw5uzndmBjBz6RxsOVgDVdyD7jUhAKK28WY2ZhVAEQmCe2Qiq_1s8RCFR0hS5IoJPicovI44BLdLPsbo3fn6cP7FzoluvPKbiyoDcnqSj0ZjHkAEJ55HYk/s320/20210222_155511.jpg" /><br /></a></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I love old buildings and this very old mill is on the market but needs a LOT of renovation!

It started all plump and high, but is now deflated and low....just how we have been feeling for these past couple of weeks!!

So why the low demeanour? Well I've decided we are both suffering from a very mild form of PTSD and why not given the marathon of the last six months? Going through this treatment has been life changing and being strong and positive can only be sustained for so long. Emily gave me this lovely candle at the beginning of my treatment and like the candle lid sentiment many others told me "don't give up", "be strong" and "you can do this" etc, etc. While encouragement and support is so very important it is also a very personal detour that only Larry and I could truly share......</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtM7Qf1Q1oArcA55Sp4TQJO_eE9Fz7htPilzdjfJil8dHqR1iigNMgvcSVMd92Lkr-EIeK7qzE_fh0YdJFk4fROqboYPrHE0zcx27OvvANJDpyHzvzoND35P4LW2n3APKh6m-Af9T7dfE/s1280/20210209_094425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtM7Qf1Q1oArcA55Sp4TQJO_eE9Fz7htPilzdjfJil8dHqR1iigNMgvcSVMd92Lkr-EIeK7qzE_fh0YdJFk4fROqboYPrHE0zcx27OvvANJDpyHzvzoND35P4LW2n3APKh6m-Af9T7dfE/s320/20210209_094425.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-ygpU6ju-fqoKSlUxdQbK445Xk6LkY8l5UhPptcKP5ZDHGVX3prtYvRPj6VN2b2ExJIgtPh8UPHyU5OeyoD4Any4Z52O_gGmVDKcrZJAGl97pjX_IIhoFwf-xLF2hnIxWo9Ed44MGpU/s1280/20210209_094439.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-ygpU6ju-fqoKSlUxdQbK445Xk6LkY8l5UhPptcKP5ZDHGVX3prtYvRPj6VN2b2ExJIgtPh8UPHyU5OeyoD4Any4Z52O_gGmVDKcrZJAGl97pjX_IIhoFwf-xLF2hnIxWo9Ed44MGpU/s320/20210209_094439.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV2Aa7LKLa__X3iLZdDE9SIXjctusIb14nrMPLfiUIUtvgf2y4rKWiogTTyHJuJSm4z9QWIqxFuFoelAAfDsbKDESYBjsCU8Q5NxoJG-_PxMH3zB3oJz-ZO2gY8eaXvewbPpueSspEhpw/s1280/20210209_094337.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV2Aa7LKLa__X3iLZdDE9SIXjctusIb14nrMPLfiUIUtvgf2y4rKWiogTTyHJuJSm4z9QWIqxFuFoelAAfDsbKDESYBjsCU8Q5NxoJG-_PxMH3zB3oJz-ZO2gY8eaXvewbPpueSspEhpw/s320/20210209_094337.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">But a burning candle always glows hope and a deflated balloon means that another stage in one's life has to come to an end. So with that I am happy to say we have worked through our low feelings to ones of optimism and happy times ahead (and we are always so grateful for family and friends). Part of the process of acceptance was wearing a bald head out in public...not something I actually did but maybe showing it in public gives validation and strength on the <i>detour.</i> But then my hair started growing back and to be honest I was quite happy with the "new" me! But my hairdresser had other ideas and convinced me I needed some colour......all natural of course as I am not keen on chemicals. But that was a disaster and turned out a <u>ghastly</u> orange which I now have to cover for several more weeks. It was kind of a backward step for me and I am hoping to be a lot more natural in the coming months. Until my 40's I was auburn but have had some 'assistance' since but I would like the new me to be more natural.....a mixture of grey, blonde and whatever. I always said I would keep the bald head private but here goes......all part of who I was and hopefully never will be again......</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOfkzPNOYJTLaTVRE3v457rMHZ7IMkzfUTUFCj9DAh3MvMxvQivK3DEzLq7yezk6gVFIDsN-_bVDfD1LHn_pwdUrUclUY_MDoZBTQdB9TmZDDqdasV2hZK6I6rWHcbjBPxzcFueJReWhc/s1280/20200930_175641.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="713" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOfkzPNOYJTLaTVRE3v457rMHZ7IMkzfUTUFCj9DAh3MvMxvQivK3DEzLq7yezk6gVFIDsN-_bVDfD1LHn_pwdUrUclUY_MDoZBTQdB9TmZDDqdasV2hZK6I6rWHcbjBPxzcFueJReWhc/s320/20200930_175641.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGI0rwt6iyGWF45h9D3vbXJGIA4XQV6JeS-6Pm-r89-YQQNrinokEoB2ZfDm6-wjUq6vqblkOyp04uyBUQ1eG34mR7Invk5Ri5qug5GwBI2r01gy9vYnyImFnwpl1Sm9lturholK-LPkA/s1280/20210129_165850.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGI0rwt6iyGWF45h9D3vbXJGIA4XQV6JeS-6Pm-r89-YQQNrinokEoB2ZfDm6-wjUq6vqblkOyp04uyBUQ1eG34mR7Invk5Ri5qug5GwBI2r01gy9vYnyImFnwpl1Sm9lturholK-LPkA/s320/20210129_165850.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4iyEyWiZClh4V-nfiyM4vXHkIpu3PRQhKYIhCNhdxXbxOr8rE1BlccPnm4ywaz5VR0UnQPuiDMLIOKrutlrhxb5Zj6IZFRCuL_j17TvJpHahzaXTre1Mq1OUmHH9rdxtr4GnaEPGWJK4/s1280/20210214_193904.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="820" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4iyEyWiZClh4V-nfiyM4vXHkIpu3PRQhKYIhCNhdxXbxOr8rE1BlccPnm4ywaz5VR0UnQPuiDMLIOKrutlrhxb5Zj6IZFRCuL_j17TvJpHahzaXTre1Mq1OUmHH9rdxtr4GnaEPGWJK4/s320/20210214_193904.jpg" /></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But progress is also being made on the wound 'front' (no pun intended!!), as I have progressed from feeling like I am wearing a heavy metal spiked bra to a lighter barbed wire one (if that makes sense??!!).....jolly nerve pain I believe!

He is rather obsessed with baby Yoda from Star Wars so I was pleased to find some baby Yoda fabric. A few drawings later I managed to get it all done so I am hoping that was good physio for me too. The quilting is fairly minimal but all that my body could do at the moment. I am sure he will be happy with it as he has seen the drawings.

It is all relative depending on where one lives and one's own personal circumstances and these past 5 months have certainly been some of the toughest for our family. I still have two lots of surgery to go but I am so thankful I don't need anymore chemotherapy. The oncologist does want me to keep the portacath in my chest as I might need some infusions over the next 3 years to fix the damage that the chemo may have done to my bones, but my fingers are tightly crossed I won't need that! But we have so much to be thankful for and especially the love and support shown to us. More cards and gifts have arrived from special people that truly lifts us both......thankyou to each and everyone of you.

So what have I learnt from this ongoing detour? I am only sharing this in the hope it might help someone else (as others have for me). I am going to intermingle my thoughts with more joy that I have received in the way of gifts, cards and flowers.....oh and home cooked meals too! I am not going to share those individuals......<u>you know who you are and how thankful I am</u>......thankyou all xxx The first thing I have learnt is how incredibly kind and thoughtful others have been towards me sometimes from the most unexpected places. The postman and delivery guys know us well now! Home baked goodies brought a huge smile to Larry too......</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ye7OXN51v6Tu0-o_2P-1eRFQwrfH7obUQe13rPIW8X3omi-Lrxxqrx39iMFegfubWYatGUZYkSaMb-8iQybG0gKRhH-KhR74bNchlH64iuB7tWoIpk_KE3NBvC6ZjAym4XOI23julhU/s1280/20201216_114721.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ye7OXN51v6Tu0-o_2P-1eRFQwrfH7obUQe13rPIW8X3omi-Lrxxqrx39iMFegfubWYatGUZYkSaMb-8iQybG0gKRhH-KhR74bNchlH64iuB7tWoIpk_KE3NBvC6ZjAym4XOI23julhU/s320/20201216_114721.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZjKHh3Xao6uXuCprNeFxxR8zRL4VAGg2dVCyQKAUBPQW0sK-Jyg_jFo0odheT8haR0w2WdwwNMvFRMglb8aCz9mObG8YwdQ6yN_ZTiAG5YjOhvX8JhOv1WgPe8P2Bu8NNQ_TGvNX5zE/s1280/20201216_114612.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZjKHh3Xao6uXuCprNeFxxR8zRL4VAGg2dVCyQKAUBPQW0sK-Jyg_jFo0odheT8haR0w2WdwwNMvFRMglb8aCz9mObG8YwdQ6yN_ZTiAG5YjOhvX8JhOv1WgPe8P2Bu8NNQ_TGvNX5zE/s320/20201216_114612.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcslZ3QbehEi5YePi-gzmzBqSH3qCQ0Z5a_RZgGsiKAJ6QICSaVnyIFHZvYp6XQiPghKWGZQs7cpeMaa702Z_8_WAkktl5vuj0X1sUZfovAwbbzZ2lpxRLiHcG-jg26AWt9FovvujJ68/s1280/20201216_114621.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcslZ3QbehEi5YePi-gzmzBqSH3qCQ0Z5a_RZgGsiKAJ6QICSaVnyIFHZvYp6XQiPghKWGZQs7cpeMaa702Z_8_WAkktl5vuj0X1sUZfovAwbbzZ2lpxRLiHcG-jg26AWt9FovvujJ68/s320/20201216_114621.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have learnt that cancer does not discriminate and if you already have a gene defect the statistics are not in your favour. For the record I have triple negative breast cancer with the BRCA2 gene defect which means I already had a 70-80% chance of getting breast cancer (and ovarian). Despite annual checks this sneaky lesion grew to 3cm in a very short space of time and I feel so lucky that I felt it. The down side to having this gene defect is that I may have passed this on to our adult daughters so they too will need genetic counselling and testing............</span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQmiJ-SzTdWUYTZ1yGgATun0OSNPjtbbqcFEwuUfe7b2KUyPsrEQhgrmjR-54vN86usTs4UWGz9mO4Agi1PfgQ00nFv9arO0zhO708Bi1u_pulnwpIfJcySEMQktKvyIFnwYQgYz9LenU/s1280/20201212_130805.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQmiJ-SzTdWUYTZ1yGgATun0OSNPjtbbqcFEwuUfe7b2KUyPsrEQhgrmjR-54vN86usTs4UWGz9mO4Agi1PfgQ00nFv9arO0zhO708Bi1u_pulnwpIfJcySEMQktKvyIFnwYQgYz9LenU/s320/20201212_130805.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuqbdhXObBvnsav6F5ZDY3Kuzf1FFoadZupEm2W4zjwSSiT336AC8ZnM4XhMqyYqBCX5GwJAAGlJJTGxBGJkBU_ldWquYIoKHDSGiHm9uRusUgbSDDtIDVLrwv8HRkXkP85TJfjN30uvQ/s1280/20201212_130820.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuqbdhXObBvnsav6F5ZDY3Kuzf1FFoadZupEm2W4zjwSSiT336AC8ZnM4XhMqyYqBCX5GwJAAGlJJTGxBGJkBU_ldWquYIoKHDSGiHm9uRusUgbSDDtIDVLrwv8HRkXkP85TJfjN30uvQ/s320/20201212_130820.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp2CZxGIV2a3MfYo00EnW9dG1cSO_YZsQLGlVhnCwgRtYnY14xbR544c_roK3Zi2UPTTmGKJdtVQAiDTTDdKxHmpA6acze4b7GCBAxBiII_40lVJObSfM3CP3jMDuewHi3_X9L-hs5eD8/s1280/20201212_163701.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp2CZxGIV2a3MfYo00EnW9dG1cSO_YZsQLGlVhnCwgRtYnY14xbR544c_roK3Zi2UPTTmGKJdtVQAiDTTDdKxHmpA6acze4b7GCBAxBiII_40lVJObSfM3CP3jMDuewHi3_X9L-hs5eD8/s320/20201212_163701.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have learnt that this surgery is quite uncomfortable!

Last night we thought we would go out for dinner but after an hour I was fading so most of my meal came home in a takeaway container so that will do for tonight! In three sleeps (and who is counting??!!), I'll be in hospital for my first lot of cancer surgery so I am also trying to keep my thoughts elsewhere.

In fact if you were lucky enough to get a copy of my May Morris book the photography was done in her home.

The vintage covers are very "Valerie"!......and some books to add to my reading list and a delicious smelling soap.......</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrVLx74X6MC-T3NFuJK__UucbRlVqjH2woIogUp6a2EmFMbF-NhnUvVI-9owJbfd-4aeLEsWTuTq8KwQ_XWwXlS0nl7kdbLVUO3NdNdXMuPR8IPOnw58RkqU82S7y9TjEsp4dosNOyZ-c/s1280/20201202_152841.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrVLx74X6MC-T3NFuJK__UucbRlVqjH2woIogUp6a2EmFMbF-NhnUvVI-9owJbfd-4aeLEsWTuTq8KwQ_XWwXlS0nl7kdbLVUO3NdNdXMuPR8IPOnw58RkqU82S7y9TjEsp4dosNOyZ-c/s320/20201202_152841.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt8qJ-xUhwO6DyMtlE-m1ihtHYXzrGNWM0jA1cKSb05b1iNPN5FFr52EVA9Jb6GUaouSB471kZY3swKMaQV3f-6W549MlrgdteSTCr3f58kh1xzhGNnbUciHp99zwudaSvJz4uTxFfViU/s1280/20201202_152859.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="645" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt8qJ-xUhwO6DyMtlE-m1ihtHYXzrGNWM0jA1cKSb05b1iNPN5FFr52EVA9Jb6GUaouSB471kZY3swKMaQV3f-6W549MlrgdteSTCr3f58kh1xzhGNnbUciHp99zwudaSvJz4uTxFfViU/s320/20201202_152859.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmBqSMczqC0dqnesmlDu8xQzp9_bzTPiSbhzBAe8lxJyXWQbGfVP9W8DfQiOuR_p-wD9lLLNTIL7DqSVlBhUkKRKkfxiBgyQlQL2PCxV4__4ar4qBTmGKCv5h2Zlq024vUayx5hPwHCgM/s1280/20201202_152928.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmBqSMczqC0dqnesmlDu8xQzp9_bzTPiSbhzBAe8lxJyXWQbGfVP9W8DfQiOuR_p-wD9lLLNTIL7DqSVlBhUkKRKkfxiBgyQlQL2PCxV4__4ar4qBTmGKCv5h2Zlq024vUayx5hPwHCgM/s320/20201202_152928.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also tucked inside the bags was this gorgeous figurine called 'Everyday Blessings' and she is adorned in a very Morris like pattern........I certainly feel very blessed to be surrounded by so much love and support.

I decided some time back that I couldn't be bothered putting up the Christmas tree this year as it might be difficult to pack up after surgery but I succumbed! We knew that the family were coming to visit last weekend so I thought maybe the youngest members might like to help. Well the boys were busy doing boy things so dear Maisie did it on her own! And what a fabulous job she did too.

The first flush of roses have all but gone and one or two bushes are showing the second flush but their blooms are much smaller. I do miss having vases of them inside and just recently I came across these blooms in a local gift shop. I just had to have them but only bought two stems as they were a little pricey. But I did go back for a third as one really should have an odd number??!! I am told this is a rule when embroidering so maybe it is with floral arranging too! I am not really one for artificial flowers but these are just so life like and I can enjoy them all year round. So over and out for now and next post will be after my first lot of surgery so onwards and upwards as they say! Take care wherever you are and thanks for dropping by x</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sR0htq1LgJwBARVo7STawxd0w1YSTEoFpKh2rhyp0xcq_kIxqwN8aJHACpsac6CExt_NNMDHdW3SMtzwOI-tawlUIN7NQbuTCjstVgkT-tnHb2_jTEYsKYIqoRwas_NQh2o3JAlg7ws/s1280/20201123_202103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sR0htq1LgJwBARVo7STawxd0w1YSTEoFpKh2rhyp0xcq_kIxqwN8aJHACpsac6CExt_NNMDHdW3SMtzwOI-tawlUIN7NQbuTCjstVgkT-tnHb2_jTEYsKYIqoRwas_NQh2o3JAlg7ws/w185-h400/20201123_202103.jpg" width="185" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCyQz_YH7z_BbXFjhWoZlGU_k8SO5L9BPYe8qLr8JuMST_wOZNRFoDAymWi6xNIMvd4-cJtDCovkjyCOy8HaM2BQiw0YHxhDisMFFkn_aOeU30a_CXb6cSDsNvBISKo92ZUjltow4mpbw/s1280/20201123_202114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="590" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCyQz_YH7z_BbXFjhWoZlGU_k8SO5L9BPYe8qLr8JuMST_wOZNRFoDAymWi6xNIMvd4-cJtDCovkjyCOy8HaM2BQiw0YHxhDisMFFkn_aOeU30a_CXb6cSDsNvBISKo92ZUjltow4mpbw/w185-h400/20201123_202114.jpg" width="185" /></a></span></div></div>Michele Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08019869818858079866noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199157363616709637.post-73058912548966572612020-11-24T19:23:00.000+10:302020-11-24T19:23:03.349+10:30Bees, bears and blessings<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Well I've snuck this post in before my recent posts that seem to be running 3 weeks apart.... so the first news is that chemotherapy is now on hold! I was hoping to be jumping with energy and renewed vigour but from what I've been told chemo takes at least 6 months (and often 12), before one feels "normal" whatever that is! I am disappointed with the lingering nausea and never ending fatigue but I have been stitching again so that is a good sign!

I continue to be in awe of blood donors who so willingly donate for the benefit of others like me.......<i>blessings</i> indeed. The other <i>blessings </i>I've received since my last post continue to embarrass me but I am grateful for such thoughtful support sometimes coming from afar. It was very exciting to receive two special gifts all the way from Canada! Our friends Paul and Penny were supposed to be meeting us in the UK last month for the William Morris tour but of course that didn't happen. Paul and Penny have maple trees on their property and Paul taps his own sap and produces this liquid gold.

He had sustained a heart attack with no history and previously a very active pushbike rider. So yesterday he underwent life saving double by-pass heart surgery so we have both faced our mortality. Sadly no visitors are allowed so I can't imagine how terrified he must have been. The night after we got the news we were <i>blessed </i>with a rainbow at the end of the street.....its time like this that the simple things mean so much.

The chemotherapy has pretty much "done me in" and I can't even <i>find the right words </i>to describe how wretched it can make one feel. My biggest struggle has been the overwhelming fatigue despite having another top up blood transfusion and way too much rest! Then last week I developed a blood clot in the leg so I am having to jab my tummy twice a day! But onwards we must go with a plan to discuss continuing this gruelling detour with the oncologist this coming week. I saw my surgeon last Friday and we are hoping to schedule surgery before Christmas but time will tell...........</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigtRO8YU43vmODH81iVG7EEBlNS0EZiBNLdLoR3l-wSOpysrbAURl4pEg4LD2TE9KzVtl_wwP53hqnil679n9VAbmUsMBaJzDVef6LuwDOf8mRR1J2M5fDeIIrIWpNMfmRVKFIpXKzlPg/s1280/20201022_145717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="841" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigtRO8YU43vmODH81iVG7EEBlNS0EZiBNLdLoR3l-wSOpysrbAURl4pEg4LD2TE9KzVtl_wwP53hqnil679n9VAbmUsMBaJzDVef6LuwDOf8mRR1J2M5fDeIIrIWpNMfmRVKFIpXKzlPg/s320/20201022_145717.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT8OW7cLKDTYoM-k0YbxcxmhquHZvmEOC-lM9ZRQ3SgXCqdko9aaHof6eLE2kHGW-cva_RsH4jsdEKCuM4a7eyMJSaoL-jriNHlV24Vgx1oUHGpMyQcxpLz1FMIP3MDn_7lMsfEoI_5I/s1280/20201022_150405.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="697" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT8OW7cLKDTYoM-k0YbxcxmhquHZvmEOC-lM9ZRQ3SgXCqdko9aaHof6eLE2kHGW-cva_RsH4jsdEKCuM4a7eyMJSaoL-jriNHlV24Vgx1oUHGpMyQcxpLz1FMIP3MDn_7lMsfEoI_5I/s320/20201022_150405.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Finding the right words </i>to show our appreciation for the continuing love and support shown to Larry and me comes easily and we are grateful for it all.

I was going to call the post "Detour Dilemmas" as I seem to have a few of them at the moment! But dilemma seemed too negative a word so with the current situation Detour <i>"dears"</i> is much more positive! My dictionary tells me <i>'dear' </i>means cherished and adored so it is much more appropriate. My first <i>'dear'</i> is to all those people out there who donate their blood regularly to strangers something I was the lucky recipient of yesterday for the first time in my life......</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVUR8uxFi0bpkXkt85DTVJw0oOF33N-J-7lWPXlXOrpsbrriO966JcancyvqKOEgvQe6yk7bi5XOhnt_uyiV4w6YFCSiAw1zL5fyR-2BVOUJKNEYgdkxCTzkG4iFDaIQvY1lCWRBkdin0/s1280/20201015_150337.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVUR8uxFi0bpkXkt85DTVJw0oOF33N-J-7lWPXlXOrpsbrriO966JcancyvqKOEgvQe6yk7bi5XOhnt_uyiV4w6YFCSiAw1zL5fyR-2BVOUJKNEYgdkxCTzkG4iFDaIQvY1lCWRBkdin0/s320/20201015_150337.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR6N4MSz8ASgQ6G-6p6AVTWOMVTZbWKPqd_TtaxYfWNAkhsim2g5_0_LSfw1JOt9x9icxcDotyNph4-cKVRveTBAZ3WZyo9h1AyVQd84bkZ0fWQnW_coyV2tU7OK4MfVlO4JhTcvhim1Y/s1280/20201015_150320.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="722" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR6N4MSz8ASgQ6G-6p6AVTWOMVTZbWKPqd_TtaxYfWNAkhsim2g5_0_LSfw1JOt9x9icxcDotyNph4-cKVRveTBAZ3WZyo9h1AyVQd84bkZ0fWQnW_coyV2tU7OK4MfVlO4JhTcvhim1Y/s320/20201015_150320.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The inevitable side effects of the chemotherapy have been a challenge to say the least with just this past week my haemoglobin dropping to 81 and my platelets from 281 to 55 in just one week.

So if you are one of those<i> '</i></span><i style="font-family: verdana;">dear</i><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>'</i> blood donors I say thankyou. My ticker has not been so happy either so a review with the cardiologist might mean a change to my current regime with possibly continuing the way I am for an extra 6 weeks which will mean weekly for a total of 18 weeks....time will tell how my body copes with that.
