Hi Jane,

Hi Jane,
I really felt for Vanessa when Spencer said it was his idea to cook Beef Wellington. Ooh! That's so patronizing...poor woman.
The story's coming along great and I'm definitely a Vanessa fan. Not sure about Pat and Stu...

Hi Jean,

Hi Jean,
I was watching on youtube a poem read by a poet named Maya Angelou, called Still I Rise. This poem reminded me of you and your courage, when faced with the distress you're enduring.
I'm glad that the past two weeks have...

Oh! How I yearn for the countryside, to be at one with the landscape. Just for a moment I was right there with you in your poem, you make it seem so breathtaking.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous poem Rhiannon, and the photos are...

I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...

Hi David,
The whole experience could have been much worse, that was why I wanted to record the episode in a diary entry, as the whole experience could easily be forgotten or not remembered right over time. We were very lucky, if we'd been...

These lines stood out to me so much:-
Night comes wearing its cloak

Much love and respect goes out to anyone suffering any mental disorder. I myself nearly went through this condition in my early thirties, but managed to pull through without any tablets. It was only with the help of my health visitor taking me to...

a wonderful sense of calm in this piece Rhiannon, like the end to a perfect day has been achieved and you've just sat down to write about it.
I love the photos too, they fill the heart with gladness...as does your poem.
Jenny.
