I haven't blogged for ages, but today I feel the need - we have just found out that my lovely mum has Alzheimer's, it is getting quite bad very quickly and really is frightening for all the family, especially my step-dad, they have just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, she is 83 but it comes as a shock at any age - we are all learning about this together - make sure you tell the important people in your life every day that you love them.

I love you mum x

    I really feel for you and your family. It's a very steep learning curve indeed and one that I wouldn't wish on anyone,having lost my dad in January. Looking back,we think he had Alzheimer's way before it was diagnosed. There were times when I felt absolutely helpless and times when it almost tore the family apart..
    Stay strong for each other! I will be thinking of you.xxx

Flea markets rule !!

Image
Went to a fantastic flea market in Shepton Mallet, bought lovely things and bought them home to paint !!. The weather has been fantastic and with the lovely royal wedding, things are on the up ! Only just got a camera again after having the other one pinched (too long to explain) and have missed adding photos onto my blog. I have a nasty cyst on my left eye, and I am waiting for a hospital app (yawn), its a pain and I cant see very well, but its taught me not to take anything for granted. Well off to Southampton next weekend, to see my Dad, been ages since I have seen him, so will no doubt add more pics then. Newly painted table & chair New goose New lavender tree Newly painted peg rail

Away to the Cotswolds !!

Image
We have just come back from a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds, apart from it feeling like February !!. Main reason was to visit Cath Kidston in Bicester, I bought a new bag, tea towels and cushions covers (both of which are my main buying habit, but hey can think of worse things to be addicted too !), photo's added. It really is a very pretty part of the country, but living in Devon makes you very spoilt (hubby would say i am spoilt anyway!!). Well back to the chores of washing etc..... new teatowels, lovely !!! New bag new white company cushions, bliss !!
