Home Again, Home Again Giggidy Gig

Well it is over a month since my last blog post - and what can I say, there is far to much to put down in words as the past few weeks have been of the very highest highs and lowest lows. We are now all a little more grounded though and I have chosen to post a little update as some very kind bloggers have been asking if I am OK. Yes I am OK, but I have been in hospital in and out for a while with more tests and it seems I have a couple of curious spots on the brain which is most likely damage caused by neuro behcets so this took some getting used to. My dd has also been in hospital with Pleurosy (excuse spelling), in between we have been to the UK to see family and camping with friends here in Italy. So really we are physically and emotionally shattered but feeling good and positive. We have lots of lovely photos to share and I will be uploading some soon. I am going to slow down on the blogging front a little as I find it distracts be from the real 'doing' so I hope to simply share the real joys, the beauty, the fun, laughter and natural flow of our little family, living in the hills of Tuscany trying hard to live gently, sutainably, abundantly and without fear or stress. Making the very most of what we have every moment of every single day. So for now here is today's good stuff: The roses in bloom, smelling of old English country gardens The bread baking, the gorgeous wafts of cooking dough (thank you dh) The glowing fire (in May!!!) drying the washing The big strong vegi plants ready to be planted in the horto My lovely true old & new friends who love me no matter what Sleeping dog and skitty kitties The clear blue skies after the heavy downpours Cracking and jolting lightening making me feel so alive The melting pot of thoughts, feelings, personalities that make up our family The gentle sun turning the cherries from green to lipstick red x
