Beautiful sunny start to August in this part of the U.K. .
Some thoughts for those living with Cancer as a chronic condition .
Hope it’s a good month for those in treatment , looking for shrinkage and pushing through another cycle .

While there’s nothing good about cancer, the time that a tough years of treatment buys, whether long or short, is such a bonus that I can appreciate our wonderful world a little more deeply than before.
Butterfly’s mean so much to me Wellspring. Right at the start in late September when mum had just been diagnosed. I was feeling despondent and reversing into my driveway . It was just before tea and in my rear view mirror I spied the most beautiful butterfly sitting on the cladding on my house basking in the afternoon sun .
When I looked to the side a further five were sitting on the one bush !
I don’t know why but I found it very comforting . My mum had one primary and five mets . It gave me a sense of hope although I am not sure why .
I agree there is nothing good in the disease . Mum has still got long term issues from treatment . Think she might also have a vertebrae fracture or something in that area . A lot of pain and bloods showing something relating to her bones . Lots of chemo and steroid use , so I guess she will have issues with her bone density . X-ray tomorrow. GP paid a home visit and all over it . We are so fortunate for the care we get from him . She will get there .
However she has been on the phone tonight to make sure her holiday is paid up and plans are being made . Pushing through is what she does best as she wants to enjoy being by the sea with her clan !
Time is a precious commodity .
Keep sharing the photos . Great to see .
I take it you have a good camera ?
Take care ,

Hi Court. Thank you for your encouragement, and I’m glad that you appreciated the butterflies. The best camera you can use is the one you have with you! The second two were snapped on my phone. The first on a nice camera using what’s called micro 4/3 technology - meaning decent quality but much less weight. So more mobile, more likely to be with me. 
This little chap took a fancy to our hose…
Flower of the day, our first crinum blossom, especially precious as it was blind last year.
