Winter Fae

Morning peeps. Hope you are all well? Those poorly or sad I hope things improve soon. We do not have any more tests at the hospital for my husband until Tuesday now and that is an 8.30 am start and an all day test. Hubby pushed me into the hobby room yesterday as I usually get wound up if I haven't been in for awhile without all that is going on. Not sure if it was a good idea as I was getting wound up as nothing seemed to be going how I wanted it too. I thought I would post it anyway.

Hubby Very Poorly

Hi Peeps. Thank you for those that commented on my scheduled cards while I was away in France. It was lovely to see my Daughter and her Husband and all her lovely pets. We miss they dreadfully living there.

I am afraid to say we did have lots of laughs but some traumas too. My husband was rushed to hospital in France, they wanted him to stay there to do lots of tests and a possible operation but we thought it best to come home where we would be able to understand all the medical terms a little better as it does get lost in translation. The journey was very painful for him and a big worry to me. He is now in our local hospital and they will be running tests in the next few weeks.

Please bare with me as I have to try and catch up with my DT commenting and work in between going back and forth to the hospital.

We were due to go away again on the 3rd August but I don't think that will be possible as even if they let him home while they run the test I think the journey and the day trips out will be too painful for him.

Hugs

Off to France

Hi Peeps. Yes you have guessed it by the title that I am off on my travels again today. This time it is to see my lovely daughter and her husband in France. The taxi is picking us up hopefully at 11.30 am this morning.

We will be flying back next Thursday 9th in the evening. I am not sure how much we will be going out and about this year as they have a shop to run. They closed it last year and we went lots of places but it isn't fair on them or their customers to close it again. They will probably take it in turns to go in and open up. I have got to go in one of the days to have my spend up in the shop!!! It will just be lovely to see them and hopefully the weather will be kind to us (Daughter just email it is 39 there) and we can get some sun to our bodies instead of going rusty!!!

I do have three DT cards appearing, one tomorrow and two next week while I am gone. I have scheduled them. Typical that all the Challenges will probably be finished for me to enter them by the time I return!!!

There will be a PATTIES CREATIONS CHALLENGE tomorrow at 6am UK time - DREAM VALLEY CHALLENGES on Monday 6th July at 11am UK time - CREATIVE CARD CREW on Tuesday 7th at 6am UK time.

Hope you have fun and all keep well while I am away.

Hugs
