Stable Days
Cold air brushes pink cheeks as boots slap the concrete and the whiney of the Oldenburgh echoes through the stable door, As hay nets are gathered and weighed and stray strands are pulled from wayward hair, the ice gathers on the metal roofs and rain patters like musical chimes, Stables need cleaning and hoofs picking,Continue reading “Stable Days”
Reminders of the past
My beautiful souled neighbour once had a husband who passed many years ago. He was a keen gardener and grew all varieties of fruit and vegetables all year round in his green house and tended his garden and orchard with as much care as he tended his loving wife. Upon his passing, the garden grewContinue reading “Reminders of the past”
Body Changes & Gastric Bypass
Last weekend my husband and I went out. At one point I was walking behind him in a pub and he turned round to check I was still okay and behind him, he wasn’t looking for what I look like now and completely missed me!

What is also a big no is the white meats from chicken and pork. Chicken legs and wingsContinue reading “Bariatric Surgery and meals”
Animals Just Know
As I lay in bed with such pain in my head, this little beautiful being comes to lay on me and purrs away. Instantly soothing, the heat from her tiny body, the feel of her beautiful coat and the grey noise of the purr. Gizzy must be my little spirit animal sent to help meContinue reading “Animals Just Know”
Restless slumber
As he breathes next to me I hear him moving, frantic like escaping from an unseen foe, ‘Two weeks ago..’ he murmurs, soft snores escaping and the rustling of bedding sounding sharp in the silence, The murmurs and sad wails continue, do I awaken this restless slumber, do I comfort this man, What are dreamsContinue reading “Restless slumber”
Bariatric surgery ☑️
On the 10th June 2022, I traveled to Turkey to have a gastric bypass! I think my story and history will resonate with most, so let’s start right here with: Once upon a time, before pregnancy at 27, I was 12.5 stone and I thought I was fat.
