I walked around Chichester today. It was hard work but i managed to walk the old Roman walls. It hit home that 90 generations of people have been born and died since the walls were built . And that iSparklesthe reality of human life. We are not here forever. So above pain and awfulness of my terminal cancer, i accept that one day i will leave. But that applies to everyone but i think we push it to the Sparklesack of our minds. Cancer has been my wake up call to this reality. When is there ever enough Years in a lifetime?. Im getting on now im 62 this Year but it still.seems.strange.that my life will end aSparklesd my identity as Tony will be no more. Strange thoughtsSparklesCatAnyway, Chichester was nice, and sun shining on us.

  • A lot of blooms going on there Ruth, is that a Japanese cherry tree or an apple tree? I like the wall, is it stones on top of each other?

    Take care and stay safe Ruth

    A very posh area, even the toads have their own car, I've seen it.

    Anyone who uses YouTube as i dont view TV, the Cotswold Explorer has many vlogs on the history and buildings of this region.

  • Thank you Tony, I shall take a look at that x

  • Hey Tony, I have the same thoughts, especially around pertinent dates. I'll be 70 in July and thinking that I will actually be here to have that birthday feels like an amazing milestone, given what has gone before. I know that being Stable Mabel at the moment is a fragile state that may change and bring that horrible 'reality' back into focus once again, but I do feel a much greater contentment now. I am so grateful for every day I remain able to function and get joy from all the little things. Like you, nature and of course, art, are the great sustaining gifts that get me through. May we all have many more sunny days.  Rainie x
