It's a long journey, half of it on narrow roads, but we insist on
enjoying it whether we like it or not.

We went by a different route this time, even narrower roads on mountain
sides but spectacular - and extremely quiet! We saved twenty miles and half
an hour. that will be the way we go from now.

Nonsense! If her husband is feeling up to doing it, he should... it's a
lot better than laying in bed with nothing to do but think about what may
or may not happen. That's how I handled it when I was told I had
cancer... and that's the way my sister-cousin Linda is handling it now
with her terminal cancer. She was told at the end of April that she had
three months... that would have been the end of July. When she passed
that mark she aimed for the first of Autumn. When that passed, she aimed
for Thanksgiving. Now that it has passed she's aiming for Christmas. She
says if she makes it to Christmas she'll aim for her birthday a few weeks
later... and so on.

Good for her.

I never contemplated 'lying in a darkened room' when I was diagnosed and nor
did my husband when he was - I wouldn't let him :-)

In any case I wish your son-in-law well and will say a prayer for him.

Thank you. He's not too bad but he does tend to be one for taking things
easy at any time, he's frustrated the whole family by that for over twenty
years.

And it will be good to see their 2 year old again, they grow so quickly
...

Aww, cute age! Enjoy!

We did, buyt he insists on calling me Grandpa and Spouse Grandma ... :-)

Just waiting for my bathwater to run, I've been baking bread in the stone
oven so haven't been able to bathe before now.

mmMMMmm I can smell the freshly baked bread now. )

I can make a month's supply at a time in the stone oven, we're still
enjoying it :-)

The first jumper I knitted for Welsh grandson is now too small for him so
I've pulled it out and shall now go and somehow re-knit it bigger :-)

No matter how much we enjoy being away it's nice to be back!
