She With A Capital V: Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

I have to admit that in recent days I have been succumbing to feeling rather down lately. Miserable in fact. All this treatment is causing toxicity within me that is not only affecting my brain and body but my emotions too. It's not a good combination, a good look or a good place to be. F-ck. You. Cancer.

However, because I am a stubborn bitch, I refuse to let this hideous disease get the better of me and try to embrace whatever my cheering section have in store for me. Or whatever it takes in my head to increase my positivity.

I forgot to write about my visit to Rye last month which was lovely albeit a little cold. Mat and I ate a delicious lunch at the Mermaid Inn which apparently is one of the most haunted places in the UK. Didn't feel or see anything ghoulish. And also went on a trip to RHS Wisley to see some beautiful orchids and partaking in a picnic in the grounds organised by my mother-in-law. Thank you Anita!

More recently, below are some photos of what I have been enjoying the last few days more as a reminder for me that whatever it takes, the fight is worth fighting for, even if it is just with myself.

Thank you to all of you - you know who you are.

Belated Car Wash present..... Yes I am odd, a cheap date, slightly bizarre and probably parts of my brain belong to a 6 year old hence I get on so well with children but I have to confess to really liking car washes! As in sitting in the car while it is taking place. I like how they make you feel all safe and dangerous all at the same time with the big washer foams and foamy water and loud noise. I asked for this as a birthday present and yesterday, I finally got it from my husband. Admittedly, the car was filthy from his recent climbing trip so needed a wash anyway but it was probably one of the nicest experiences I have had with Mat in a while.
Who would have thought a BP Connect in Ewell would provide such lovely and romantic views. There was even a sunset!

Feel free to add your comments below on how weird, odd, strange this is. I won't care. As far as I'm concerned, sitting in car washes are the way forward you know!

Bournemouth Easter .... I love Bournemouth for many reasons and I have lots of good memories there. Easter was spent with family, playing on the beach and my niece finally mastering how fun sand can be. I thought I would add the photo of the Tesco Express in an old church over in Westbourne (posh bit of Bournemouth) as I was just well, flabbergasted by it!

A shame I wasn't feeling well enough to enjoy all that Bournemouth had to offer this time around but definitely will be there again soon.

A Good Friday... was spent with this little lady. She's called Anna, is aged 18 months and as you can see has developed a penchant for hats and playing with straws. She is a real bundle of fun and character and her parents, Kira and Sean were kind enough to invite me to play with her as well as indulge in a lovely lunch over in Teddington.
