Sorry for the absence...


I must apologise for neglecting my blog; I have now had over 8300 views (which is unbelievable) so I know that a lot of friends and family keep up to date with my goings on through this blog.  So I hope I haven't worried anyone by going missing for a while!  The reason I have been absent is because I had a lovely mini-break with my gorgeous family.  Mum, Dad, my sis Lucy, Alexa and I stayed in a caravan in Poole; we picked Poole as it is a nice getaway and my lovely grandparents live in Poole also.  I was hoping to have the chance to catch up with the blog, but unfortunately there was no internet! I must admit I did feel a bit lost without it!

Despite the weather we managed to make the most of it; we went to Sandbanks where Alexa loved playing in the sand, we visited a farm, went shopping, went swimming, visiting grandma and Grandad and caught up with some old friends The Norths.  We always used to holiday with the Norths, so it was lovely to see them all and it felt very reminiscent of our childhood holidays.  So all in all it was a busy and most enjoyable few days away and just what the doctor ordered.  And I am very pleased to let you all know that my Gramps is making excellent progress since his stroke; he is physically well, but he is still confusing and loosing some words.  It was so lovely to see him and give him a big kiss and cuddle.


I have been feeling really well this week; I have had minimal side effects, except the exhaustion.  I felt like a 'normal' Mum taking Alexa to the beach and the farm.  It was a really special time and one that I will cherish for years to come.

So now it's getting ready for round 5 on Tuesday.  I am making the most of the last weekend before we start the cycle all over again!  I am catching up with friends today and will be attending the official presentation and party at Reading FC; celebrating their league win and promotion to the Premiership.  I'm not a football fan, but Alexa's Daddy works at the club and I'm sure Alexa is very proud that her Daddy now works at a Premiership football club!

I hope you are all well and didn't drown in all the rain!!

Much Love Cx
