Time out...and change

A break from the normal is what is needed sometimes, and the last few weeks have been tough on the body and soul. My health has hit the stairs in another fall, and right now i'm recovering from cracking a rib whilst fighting fibro and depression. Pain is quite high, and to say i'm dizzy would be an understatement. As i sit here and type the world is spinning quite well. Thank goodness for gravity!


Our garden is a delight , the cherry tree in full bloom and from my pink themed bedroom, the view of this tree is a daily delight, especially first thing in the morning, when the only sound is birdsong and the odd car passing by.

Today i have been resting, but also crafting. Punching out flowers and then making little blooms for future cards. I guess the spring feel to everything is coming into my crafting too. It's been lovely to see the sun, and the bite there was in the air is starting to slowly move away. Even the cat is liking outside so much more now, and right now, his main resting area is in the herbs that get the sun in the afternoon. Sadly the greek oregano has become his bed for reasons only a cat would understand, and i'm hoping that the twigs i have put around it will save it's fate and a summer of herbs will be well ahead of us. Nothing like a greek salad with fresh herbs and some crumbly feta on a summers evening.

And talking salad, we've made a change in this house, and now buy our fruit and veg from a company called Abel & Cole. All the items are organic and only what is in season is delivered. You can choose a box for your household size, but also decide whether certain veg that you really can't palate, will not be included. No artichokes here! We have been really enjoying the surprise of opening the box and seeing what is on the menu this week. Purple sprouting broccoli anyone? Have to say it's lovely and fresh and oh so tasty! I feel it's a good change and with the fact that fruit and veg from the main supermarkets seems to have such a short life once you bring it home, i felt the change was needed. Not disappointed so far.

Now it's time for me to rest myself some more, the evening drawing to a close and bed is calling, though sleep will be sometime away.

Happy crafting, even if it's in your dreams
