Feeling Grateful

It's so lovely to be home...

Being with our furry friends...

Flea "high" on Catnip.

Our big bear of a cat has missed his Daddy!

Lupin is such a lovely boy!

The sun came out to play yesterday...

And made the sea look beautiful.

Our quiz team (We called ourselves "The Winning Team") lost by one point...

But we still enjoyed our evening...

Especially the musical interlude with "The Mevagissey Quartet".
 Their songs, mostly about growing up in Mevagissey had beautiful harmonies!

Us - trying to be serious!
I like my little camera phone - Sime found it in a hedge down the lane 3 years ago. We thought it was no good as it was full of moisture, but 1 year later - we discovered it had dried out. We tried a sim card from an old phone & hey presto - it worked!!! 

Sime always has to spoil things...

Looking forward to some nice things this week: 
Having a gathering of kidlets & spending some time with our family - which is always nice!  
Home education group on Wednesday - will be lovely to catch up with friends.
May go along to a charity pamper evening on Friday.
Sime's band has a gig on Saturday.
We're also going to start a bit of a spring detox & dig out these books:

8 Weeks to Optimum Health: A Proven Program for Taking Full Advantage of Your Body's Natural Healing PowerModern-Day Macrobiotics: Transform Your Diet and Feed Your Mind, Body and SpiritVegetarian Cooking Without

It's a nice gentle way of improving health - mentally, as well as physically. 
Going to strengthen our bodies ready for the onslaught of the holiday season!

Happy Sunday!

    Your serious picture could be mistaken for a mug shot. Be careful.

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
