Monday 3rd June

Huge thank you to all the kind responses Steve and I have had from the JEP article this evening. I really hope that the article will help any other ladies and their families in similar situations.

After writing the blog last night I thought I'd just have an orange before retiring to bed, however I somehow managed to lodge a piece in my throat, and with no-one in the kitchen to offer any assistance, I staggered up the stairs wheezing and coughing,to be greeted by an alarmed daughter telling me to breathe through my nose, and my husband ready to offer the Heindrick maneuver!

After a few minutes recovery I went back downstairs to be greeted by my eldest who had just arrived back saying wryly "that would be ironic, you beat Cancer then die of choking on a piece of orange"!!!

I am trying to update a new 'slide show' of photos, but having trouble, I'll get the IT girl onto it!!

Thought I would just look at this day last year post and share it with you.......

Sunday 3rd June

Sunday 3^rd June

A very mixed up day, sadly hubby’s uncle the lovely JC passed away last night and our sympathies go out to his Aunt and all his family. 

We had a very good church service this morning, everyone getting into the Jubilee spirit, and a busy congregation.

I slept much better last night the itchy face has calmed down, but feeling very tired so needed a sleep at lunchtime, before the festivities on the Village Green. It was lovely to see so many folks on the Green, and the incredible amount of organisation needed to cope with over 450 people. 

Huge problems with marquees blowing down, but in the true ‘British spirit’ a team of volunteers managed to ‘make do and mend’ just in time for the visit from the Bailiff and his wife.

Sons no 2 and 3 have gone off to France for a 6 day holiday (hope they have better weather than we are forecast) with 3 other friends. This will give me a chance to re stock the larder and catch up on household chores!

Son no 1 is 25 tomorrow now that does make me feel old……….
