Time For Us

We are really getting into the swing of life with Bebe & she is doing wonderfully well...
Far better than we ever imagined!


She has been with us for 3 weeks now & has already got to grips with the stairs & where her bedroom & bathroom are... When she arrived she was unsteady & using a walking stick, we had to assist her on the stairs & getting up the step in her bathroom.
Now she has given up her stick & can negotiate the stairs & step independently... Has she just gained confidence or is our vegan diet working wonders?! 

We moved to Cornwall when Hugo was just 5 years old & although Bebe has seen him regularly over the years she just can't accept that he is now a young man, so sadly she greets him as either a stranger or thinks he is Kay's Brother!

Bebe is loving day care & will soon be going in for regular respite. 
We are missing being able to go out in the evenings, so once we are satisfied that she is ready - we will be bringing in a sitter for one evening a week. We know how important it is for all of us to have some time out!

Last weekend, Bebe was invited to a Christmas party at her day care place...
Sime was in charge of hair styling!

And we spent a very pleasant afternoon on The Roseland...

We firstly got drenched in the rain...

Then enjoyed a dry, but windy walk around Portloe. 

Walking up to join the coastal path...

Here's a quick video of the choppy sea too.

Fresh Cornish sea air... Wonderful!

    I'm so happy that Bebe is not only doing well, but improving and thriving under your care. I'm even happier that you 2 will be able to have some time to yourselves on a regular basis. Shame we don't live nearer or we could come over and have Bebe lead us astray with music, dancing and mayhem while you were out!

      Bebe would absolutely love that Kath!
      She's off to Granny's Disco on Tuesday & we promise to get some dancing vids posted soon!

    Love the pic of Si doing Bebe's hair. A girl HAS to look her best when she goes out!
    I wouldn't mind betting that your attitude combined with vegan food is a benefit to Bebe that no drugs could ever be.

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
