Shaping Up

My lovely chap is 51 today!

He may not climb lamp posts any more, but he is threatening to get back into some guerilla food distribution...
Something that Rose & he started some years ago!

Sime's just a big, soft kid at heart - but I adore this clumsy oaf...
He is the most loving & caring person I know & he never fails to make me laugh!

We've worked today, but we wished for it all to run smoothly & it did...
Which enabled us to go out for a bite to eat with Hugo & as usual the 2 of them get very silly when sitting next to each other...

Who would have thought back 25 years ago, as I handed Sime a card for his 26th birthday...
That we would be sitting in a restaurant on his 51st birthday with our youngest child (who at the age of 14 is as tall as Sime now)!

And although we are both wiser now, we agreed yesterday - we still don't feel old enough to have adult children, it's odd!

Another year of fantastic prezzies!

All just perfect for Sime...

Rose & Asa (who are up north at the moment) bought these...
(Dad says thank you - he's thrilled xx)!

New music...

And books...

A wonderful day for my man!


Happy birthday buddy  
♥ I love you ♥

    Happy birthday Sime! I'm liking the new beard "do" (no, not the black one LOL).
    Glad you were able to spend some family time, many happy returns!

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
