New life

We’ve had a few sunnier, even warmer, days. Every day I venture into the garden something new has appeared. All signs of new life.

While we were at the golf club we noticed the sparrows once more dodging in & out of the bushes. Some had fluffy down in their beaks. You can guess what that was for. The next morning I found down in our garden, but no carcase. Clearly our birds have turned their minds to nest building ready for the coming season.

We’ve even heard that while we were away the Fox’s niece had a baby son so now we are a great aunt & great uncle. My, does that make us feel old!

Signs of new life seem to abound everywhere. And, after our holiday, we feel in a better position to cope with it. We have some energy to take part. We’re contemplating a trip down to Manchester to meet the new member of the family.

But first it’s chemo time. I dare say it will have no adverse effects, as usual, but we don’t want to make any commitments until we’re sure.
