It seems a very long time since I wrote a new post or kept up with my blogging friends!
I am sorry....
I was just so unwell and then my son took me on holiday with his wife and children
I haven't taken many photos of my holiday
but perhaps I'll show them later!
One place we went to was
The Lost Gardens of Heligan...and there for all to see
Was the Mud Maiden.....
can you see her?
There were three mud sculputures in the garden
but this was my favourite!
I felt very much that I could have joined her...
she just looks so peaceful!
I've had the date for my surgery.
I have to be in Cardiff (100 miles away)
on Monday 17th for surgery on 18th. I have to say I'll be glad to get it over and done with!
Welcome to my new following friends.
I look forward to getting
That mud maiden is fantastic!
