Today was the Oxford Wonderful Waterways Walk (local Macmillan event) and we enjoyed the unseasonal sunshine and warmth at the end after a chilly start.

First wave of second hand books have been delivered to the Hall, the pile of cakes is stacking up nicely (lemon drizzlex3, coffee and walnut, carrot cake, gluten free chocolate brownies, pain au chocolat all at this house and more cakes known to be at the neighbours and on their way), flowers for the tables have been collected, balloons and bunting are in the car.

I have an oncology review on Friday and I think I'll be booked in for a scan or two - but this marks a new phase: checking up on me instead of treating me. Just over one year since diagnosis and just under one year since treatment started.
Thank you everyone for your support and…
