Laughter and tears at the hospice.

Christmas is in full swing now at the hospice, tree up etc, turns out I’m in line for a free Christmas lunch next Thursday, yippee! I’m so lucky to be allowed to attend the hospice, it’s been one of the most uplifting, life enhancing experiences I’ve ever had. No matter what happens to me from now on I know I’ve got a group of people who only have my best interests at the heart of everything they do. We had some medical students in today, they were lovely. I’ve met many of them in my travels and I feel confident that they are going to be a whole new breed of doctors. I spent some time giving them my philosophy on how palliative care should be delivered which I hope they will take with them when they qualify.

I have many things to be grateful for and having access to this beautiful nature reserve is one of them, so I wanted to share this picture my husband took.

Wow! That’s stunning, thank you for sharing.

I literally gasped  xx

What a beautiful photograph of a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing

Hi Jane

Stunning, simply stunning. When you see a scene like that it makes you glad to be alive.

Glad you all liked the photograph, it was taken on a ordinary mobile phone from a bridge over looking the canal, the light just happened to be perfect. Hubby thinks he’s David Bailey now, when really it was a total fluke the swans lined up that way L.O.L  Its a beautiful place with lots of different birds a stones throw from my house, we even have a resident heron who is quite elusive but you can spot him occasionally. If you create the right environment the birds will come.

That is amazing 

Had a lovely morning at the hospice catching up with everyone after the festive season. Had a little cry as two forum friends partners died over the Christmas period and it was the first chance I’d had to talk to someone who would be sympathetic to me. I’m also having another relapse and have had to go back onto high strength steroids so am feeling quite fragile, so it’s good to be with people who understand what I’m going through. Lots of laughter too, and brain storming ideas for things we can make in our crafting class as keepsakes for friends and relatives.
