Would you 'Adam and Eve' it!!

There I was going along as usual and my Crohns disease flared up, so my DGD No 1 rushed me into hospital, they kept me in and gave me the necessary medical care for which I was extremely grateful.  I am home again now, but feeling a bit wishy washy (sounds like a pantomime character).  My DH is looking after me, I am not allowed to do a thing except get well again.  The staff at the hospital were great, not only with their skill but also a sense of humour which I consider an essential to get through life.  Where would we be without the NHS?  To cap it all, I have just received my appointment to go for the 3 yearly mammogram, that's going to be fun when I go next week.  Oh - did I mention the scan I had showed I have 1 kidney smaller than the other which has been causing me problems.  Apart from that I am pretty ok, this old age thing should be banned, if it doesn't drop off or fall south it just stops working!!!

Enough of all that, the main consequence is that I have not done any sewing of late, so I really have to get into catch up mode.  The village show is getting closer and I have to sew up the baby's cardigan and finish that piece of stitching, but I refuse to panic.  My DH says that I am so laid back sometimes that it's a wonder I don't fall over.

I did manage to go outside and take a photo of another Lily, they are beautiful and the scent is to die for.  Just don't get any of the pollen on anything it's a so and so to get rid of.  I was going through my photos to find something to put on my blog and found a couple that I took a couple of years ago.  I took them from one of our bedroom windows, I thought they were pretty, a reminder of what is to come.  I know we don't get anything like the snow some of you get.

The top photo shows part of my garden and 3 of my neighbours cottages, they are thatched cottages, and are very pretty, but my DH says he wouldn't like to live in one because of the risk of fire, I wouldn't say no.

This is a view over part of my village looking towards the River Teign and the hills beyond, I just caught the sunset and its reflection in the river.  June lives about 2/3 miles up river.  The larger house to the right used to be the Alms Houses, it is now divided into 4 flats for pensioners and is now known as Church Houses.

I did stay up and watch the closing ceremony of the Olympics, that was a marathon, I thought most of the acts were ok, did you see Muse, they come from the town 2 miles down river from me.  The singer Matt Bellamy bought a large house for his Mum and Grandmother here in the village.  I thought Eric Idle was funny, his song should be our motto 'Always look on the bright side of life'.  Roll on Rio!  We do have the Para Olympics to look foward to in a couple of weeks.

I hope you will forgive me for not checking my blog friends posts recently, please don't give up on me, I know some of you have been unable to reply to me, I am doing something wrong on the set up, I will check into it when my brain starts working fully.  Thankyou for visiting my blog, whether you are an old or new friend, you are all very welcome.  Try to get back to you a little sooner next time, so take care of yourselves.
