hospitals, Doctors, Olive Oil and friends

Ahhhhhh. Finally back home after 5 nights in Siena hospitak with my boy. Ashtma related bronchial pneumonia crept up on us and stole a week of our lives. Thankyou to all my lovely friends and family for their help, and mostly I must thank the dr's for spotting this when I didn't. I have totally realigned my priorities this last week and the time spent watching the boy on oxygen and attached to tubes has allowed me to clearly think where we need to be and what we need to be doing. So happy to be home again with my clan x I love Italy, our hospital meals came with olive oil and parmesan as standard, nothing gets in the way of good wating here.

Changing Seasons

Well, 1st Sept marks the beginning of Autumn to me. The blackberries have gone and the sloes destroyed by the heat so this morning before I started work we collected wood. We plan to collect all our kindling and smaller wood this season and just top up with one wood load if we can. The children are collecting pine cones as I write and my DH is making me a cup of camomile tea. I feel uneasy today as I had hoped to be much further along with both books I am writing and can see long evenings at my desk looming. Archie is 9 this month so another era passes, I am researching HSP as I know I am highly sensitive to different energies and am sure he is too, we are also getting him allergy tested for his eczema and asthma this month. We had a very stressful day at the Doctor yesterday when Archie refused to be examined, tears were shed all round, he got so stressed he vomited. Tabby is very different to her brother - solid as a rock, a very wise and intuitive old soul and an anchor in all our lives. Today I must put in a good 6 hours at my desk on PR work but also hope to fit in some of these with the children:
