Oh my goodness what a beautiful time to be out and about, and last week I went for a walk near Haywards Heath with my friend from Morden Farm Middle School (in the week where we had another reunion with the girls in the class – see my newsletter for the exclusive content!) It’s been […]
Freezing Devon and Sneaky Peeks!
Oh my goodness it was cold this week wasn’t it! Lots of us didn’t have snow, but it was freezing anyway. Had a lovely bracing walk down on Bude Beach with my friend from Morden Farm Middle School, who came with me to this week’s retreat in Devon. Sooooo cold! And the clouds were doing some […]
Back at QVC finally 4 weeks after op! And Winter Wonderland…
Well, after my four weeks convalescing following my operation, (if you haven’t seen the special blog about the hysterectomy go here), it was back to work last weekend finally! A lovely welcome awaited me, including a couple of my colleagues/friends who gave me hugs when I walked in the door! And thank you very much […]
Four weeks is nearly over, postop! And sneaky peeks!
Just like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, I’m nearly at the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Being able to exercise again after four long weeks. This Saturday I go back to QVC after my hysterectomy op on the 11th of October and I must say time has […]
Dynamic Devon Duo Alert! And sneaky peeks!
Well, it came and went and was quite wonderful. My lovely Devon friend, yoga expert, massage therapist, excellent cook, and all round brilliant person, Jennie Dodd put up with me long enough this week, to learn the ropes around how to run a retreat at my place in Devon. (retreatsforyou.co.uk/events if you’re curious). Not only […]
Post Op Recovery Continues, Family visits, and Sneaky Peeks!
Well, week two and I definitely started going stir crazy. Had a lovely visit from my fabulous son Brad who bought over little grandson Kaleb. He was impressed as ever and wanted me to do some face painting! He wanted this Spider-Man thing, so I did my best to do my version on his little […]

Being a ‘patient’ patient – #PostOpUpdate! TV Fest! Plus sneaky peeks…
Well, I knew I’d be wiped out after the operation, but I didn’t realise it would hit me quite so entirely! But the recovery has been good so far. Here’s a quick rundown. (I won’t go through what happened in minute detail here, as I’m going to do a different ‘hysterectomy diary’ blog next week […]
Happy Cyprus 60th! And Sneaky Peeks
Had a flying visit to join my siblings and Mum in Cyprus this week, for my brother David’s 60th & had a lovely time. One of the highlights of my week was being out on the boat on Tuesday, my brother‘s actual birthday. I can’t normally do things like this easily because it’s harder to […]
Forest Bathing – and sneaky peeks!
This week I spent most of my spare time at home, out on walks and trying to sort out my place, in readiness for when I’m off having my operation. And catching up on sleep. And getting everything ready for a quick trip to Cyprus next week for my brother’s 60th, after a weekend babysitting […]
