Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Gill and @LinO506 Not Whitby although I was there the other week. This is the twin resorts of Seaburn and Roker. Two piers curve toward each other, the one seen has the lighthouse.
Yeah, people never really appreciate or make the most of what's on their doorstep.
I worked in a residential school for autistic children and we had the bright idea that in one school holiday, a similar school from Nottingham where a teacher worked previously, could bring their kids and stay in our place.
They thought it was a fab idea and duly arrived. We had planned all sorts of stuff for them and their kids but after a couple of days they said 'Lovely, but we just want to go back to the beach'. So they did, again and again
Watching Brazil match with Stressy, so of course watching tennis etc too!!!
Cheers
It's lovely Shimmer, anywhere coastal is in my eyes so enjoy what you have, my lovely.
That goes for watching the match with Stressy, too xxx
Well Stressy recently put the pier and lighthouse into a piece meeting a local brief.
He wanted history so included an historical sailing ship, a miner lifting the the edge of the ocean to allow a train access to the coal, and our fabulous but sadly no more Vaux brewery drey horses and the driver Eddie.
Eddie is a fascinating man to talk to and I am thrilled that we have a sculpture. I will see if I can post the sculpture.
Cheers
