| Bluebells - good for the spirit! |
Well – it’s been a pretty difficult few weeks here.
Don’t really want to go into much detail but to top everything we lost our
beautiful cat Hincapie. He has left a hole a mile wide in our lives, he was the
noisiest, most demanding cat I think I have ever met but the house is so very
quiet without him :(

I thought long and hard about this post and how I don’t want
my blog to appear a whole picture of rainbows and unicorns. We all have shit
happen in our lives and it would be a false picture to paint otherwise.
However, I have sat back and given it some thought and I have also had some
fabulous things happen in amongst the crap and as I am a (mostly) optimistic
and glass most defiantly half full kind of girl I thought I would concentrate
on the joy and loveliness and not the rubbish and sadness. (reading back this
sentence I saw that spell check had changed ‘definately’ into ‘defiantly’ and
hell, I’m not going to change it back!!)
The bluebells have been out in the woods both locally and at
work. I have spent a lovely couple of evenings out with friends walking and
enjoying them and making up for being so damn antisocial lately. I am also
grateful that friends have supported me feeling a bit rubbish and not my usual
self at all (sorry to you all for that!)

I have had dinner out with other friends that I have not
seen for a long time. One of them is now winging her way to California for 5
years and I am so glad that we caught up before she left. Lots of reminiscing
and laughs!

DH and I celebrated 23 whole years of being stuck with each
other. We spent a day touring Salisbury where we saw the Magna Carta at
Salisbury Cathedral, had a meal out and then went to see Old Wardour Castle to
get at least a little value from our underused English Heritage memberships...

We have been cracking on with the garden and allotment – not
managing to quite keep up with the weeds and growth of grass but putting up a
brave fight.
Mostly I have decided that being positive is a good thing
and that I have a great deal to still be grateful for, no matter how things might
sometimes appear otherwise!
