5th September 2023

Ironically, it was 4 years to the day I left hospital following my 4 month stay, that I moved into my new bungalow. Yes, the move was stressful, but the removal team where great and I was in (with all my boxes) by 1pm. It was a startling contrast to that day 4 years agoContinue reading “5th September 2023”

August 2023

As I write this, surrounded by a sea of boxes, I fully understand why people say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. As much as I had built plenty of contingency into my plans, I didn’t expect what has gone wrong, and the subsequent delays, which sent my bloodContinue reading “August 2023”

2022

I have to say I’m pleased to see the back of 2022. I lost my Dad, Rupert, and I was unfortunately ill most of August/September- but the third course of antibiotics seemed to do the trick. Then, just as I was beginning to feel better Zebedee wasn’t right. I took him to the vets, heContinue reading “2022”

That said, I’m lucky toContinue reading “4th May 2021 – Two Year Anniversary”

There was always going to be a massive spike after the Christmas mingling. Although the government where damned if they said it was ok, and damnedContinue reading “Wheels on Fire – January 2021”

5th September 2020 – A year since I left hospital

Well, it is a year today since I was discharged from the hospital, following my accident. It was lovely to be home, especially sleeping at night without buzzers going, and of course being reunited with Paddington. It was also a difficult time. Hardly any adaptions had been done, the stairlift was literally installed a coupleContinue reading “5th September 2020 – A year since I left hospital”

4th May 2020

It was a year ago today, that a freak accident in the stable changed my life forever. I’d had a lovely afternoon with Tally. Then a few hours later, in a split second, my life was turned upside down. The NHS swung into action and after a night in ICU, performed surgery to install titaniumContinue reading “4th May 2020”
