Can you see her?







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.....
no...it's not me......
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
to know you!

I'm visiting Rural Thursday

  19. Joan, while I saddened to read that you were not feeling well, it was wonderful to read that you were able to get away on a short holiday. yes, I could see the mud lady too. I will keep your surgery and recovery in my thoughts and prayers, blogging friend. And, I too have fallen a bit behind in trying to read others blog posts as well as keep up with posting on our own blog. It happens to all of us. Take good care.

    I searched and searched for the mud lady, found her hand eventually then all of a sudden there she was - very clever. :D)
