The Vey Best Of News Ever!

41 comments


Hi Everyone! I havent been around very much this year, the reason being that on the 2nd of January in the early hours of the morning my Dear Husband Harry had a Stroke, it was so frightening and traumatic. Luckily he was whisked off to hospital and made a full recoverey within the hour with no forseen side effects.
So the last three months we have ben in a state of limbo and it has been a very worrying time for us both and our family.
We have been at the hospital almost weekly having lots of tests done and have had to go everywhere by bus.
Yesterdayy we had an appointment with the Consultant who told us that Harry has been given the all clear and has now been discharged!
Hooray! What a relief we are now able to get on with our lives;0))

I would like to thank Our dear friends Sandra and Russell for all the support they have given us and for ferrying us around, and keeping us cheerful and well fed lol
Also Amy, Val and Shirley for their support and encouragement it has been invaluable!

So folks Im back now so thought I would start my comeback with a few pictures of the lovely gifts I recieved on my birthday from family and Friends;0))

Just a lttle spread to celebrate, as my birthday fell on a Sunday which is when our youngest son Robin visits with his carers and always expects a little party and a glass or two of Wine.

A very Happy Robin arriving laden with Flowers;0)

Beautiful Primulas

Hyacynths

Harry brought me this gorgeous little standard tree,
Ilex aquifolium " Golden Van Tol"

My eldest son Simon and Daughter in law to be Clare, brought me these lovely gifts

A Biome, I just love this and will keep my eye on it for visitors, it also came with Wild garden seeds which I have now sown in the garden!!

French Toiletries

I will enjoy the luxury of using these.

Sandra and Russell Took us out for a meal and brought this Lovely Healthy Hebe

What a very lucky lady I am!

Hope to see you all and your lovely gardens very soon ;0))
