February the worst and best


Continuing in the same vein, what has been good this month, well I did manage to get the January quilt blocks done, and I bought some fabric to continue with the February.







My weight has been up and down, but the overall is a about the same.

we had the loft insulated and the cavities filled for free! 

We took a lovely walk around Meldon, it was a bit foggy, but felt good to be out.

However on the 28th January mum was taken into hospital, sadly the decision was made to stop her dialysis, and she passed away peacefully on the 9th February early in the morning.  It was an end that I feel you would want for yourself, and we had a few precious days together where she was in and out of coherence. The funeral was on the 22nd February.  She was 70, no great age.  Strange how life still carries on, work needs to be attended, school and college still need attention shopping done etc.  Feel very surreal at the moment.  I have deliberately kept myself very very busy, ensuring I have little time to think, but now I crave some peace and alone time.



Despite all this I still feel that this is going to be a good year,  and I am looking forward desperately for warmer times
