My cousins daughter survived cancer in her elbow, then when it spread to her lung, she had part of her lung took away, had so much Radio therapy and chemo was told she would never have children, she’s now got two little beauties.
I have no worries, we live in absolute peace and quiet for which I give thanks every day, as I know Hostanfan does with his situation, we are both very lucky to live where we do.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Started a new job this week, so feeling useful again. Means I'm a blur of activity when I get to the allotment in the evening. Dug first potatoes of the year last evening which were better than I expected and I pulled up my garlic, which looked really good. They're hanging up drying now and I feel very French.
Only downside of the new job is I missed watching Germany getting knocked out of the World Cup. Oh wait, reasons to be cheerful - Germany getting knocked out of the World Cup.

We finally got our dream home in the country - peace and tranquility, balm to the soul.
Watching my first real garden take shape and mostly flourishing, marvelling that things I plant actually grow and at all the wonderful creatures that visit.
My swimming-obsessed, funny, challenging but very loyal 10-yr old dog survived acute kidney failure and is thriving again.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I have a lovely hubby 2 wonderful daughters, 2 grandaughters, 1 grandson and another due to arrive in September and we are all healthy and happy. What more could I ask for.
2 & 3. Have you retired, or will you be looking for another job by and by? I retired from the NHS four years ago, after 18 years. I always felt working in the NHS was like being the parent of a wayward child: it drives you round the bend, but you can't not love it. I daresay the same can be said of any public service employment.
