My Year so far

Hello is there still anyone out there.We have just come through some months of ill health but I now feel able to Blog again.My husband has had a pacemaker fitted also an operation for a hernia, but is now progressing well and back working in his garden.
I have been diagnosed with the terminal illness Motor Nuerones Disese. It was a blow but I am now coming to terms with it and living for each day. As a practicing christain that has made it easier for me. I would find it very hard to cope if I wasn't a believer.
I have had so much support from the M.N.D team, fellow Councillors , I T, support, and friends ,also Christian friends from the church.
I am unable to speak but have an iPad which speaks for me ,made possible by the officers at Teignbridge District Council.

After one of the coldest winters for years we are enjoying this wonderful weather. My son came over from New Zealand for Christmas and with other members of the family went sledging on Boxing Day. They were all so excited as it is years since the sledges were out and certainly not in New Zealand.

The trees have put on a magnificent show of blossom this year. Tomorrow we hope to visit the bluebell woods
