Finally I'm back!

Thanks to all of you who have messaged me over the past couple of months asking why I haven't been writing and when I will be again.  Many of you will know that DH had a stroke in February… apart from not having the time to write, I really wouldn’t have wanted to bore you with tales of woe, dwelling on the sad side of our existence.

Life has moved on considerably since then.  DH has been undergoing intensive physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy and is making good, if slow progress.  He is still unable to drive though.  As a result, he is not able to work at the moment so his employer is moving us back to sunny Essex in July.  

We have mixed feelings about this… sadness at leaving our friends, our church and beautiful Hexham, but happiness at being back in our own home with our old (life-long) friends, family and of course the prospect of consistently better weather and not being cold all the time!
