    Hi Everyone

    Well the title say,s it all!!!

    We went out to the woods to smell the bluebells,a lovely blue carpet with such a wonderful smell,Slim could not walk very far into the woods mainly because the paths were so uneven I had visions of him tumbling over:-P

    3 years since being able to do this,2 because he was in hospital,so this year it has been a real pleasure just for him to be fit enough to do it.
    The one thing you can say about Myeloma,is it does make you appreciate the smaller things in life. Love Eve

    Yes, See attached photograph. Pity our native Bluebells are being destroyed by the Spanish/Portuguese hybrids, They have no scent!

    It is great Slim is getting out, keep up the good work Eve.

    Hi Tony and David

    Spring might be late this year,but its worth waiting for after such a long time not being able to enjoy it.

    Slim was in hospital for 22 days first time, I use to drive with windows open along the A2 on the way to hospital at 8am back at 9pm,so spring passed me by.the next time Slim was in Kings having SCT,good hospital,but the area,how can people live without the smell of spring.

    My hay fever plays me up something rotten,sneezing and runny eyes,but its worth it.

    Picture is great, you will have to tell me how to do attachments,hopeless posting photo,s took all my time to get profile photo up. Love Eve

    Hi Tom

    We started travelling many many years ago,I alWays said I would never take photo,s if truth be told I would bore my kids ridged with them.

    To me the whole point of an adventure,is for Slim and I to share,it belongs to us,wonderful times,lots of travel,my kids and grandchildren have to find there own adventure,my photo,s are in my brain,not the still image,often the smell of things bring back a wonderful memory,do not think you can bottle that or photograph it.

    32 years and hoping for many more. Love Eve

    Great photo David… Mo certainly worked her magic by knocking out that bench with her small magic staff. 🙂

    Where are you in the photo? 😎

    First Tom,it shows in the eyes.

    Dai in the south the woods are covered,next week you will be lucky to see them,the blossom on the trees is going due to wind and rain,we watched a niebour with here young daughter picking up handfuls of blossom like confetti ,throwing it up in the air,gone until next year.

    Such a lovely time of the year. Eve

    Hi Eve:-/

    Fed up cleaning :-/ but it has to be done. I read on face book about your new motor home – good health wished on you both to enjoy (don't know if that's an English thing but we say it here when you get something new). I hope that you get good news on tomorrow and that you can get back on the road again theres a song with that title :-/

    Hey Jo how are you? How's Adam! Hope things are going well
    Take care

    Hi Eve

    I have been thinking of you and hope that Slim got good results from the consultant today.

    I too have hayfever, no bluebells here but lots of daffodils.

    It's our anniversary on 30th May, 5 years as it's my second marriage but we have known each other for 10 years. Ian is getting out of hospital to go to a restaurant for lunch. It will do us both good.

    Keep me posted.

    Love Maureen x

    Hi Maureen

    Good to hear from you,it will do you both good to get away from hospital,I use to sneak Slim out a lot,as he hated the hospital and they had no day room,We use to spend a lot of time in the chapel .

    I married Slim after 30 odd years together,are anniversary is 24 May married in ITU,we tried for 14 February but Slim was in hospital then set date for 26 but there was no way he was getting out,so married in hospital,he say,s he has grounds for divorce as has no memory!!!

    Bad news is officially relapse ,off MX1 trials,Revidimide next treatment,but have put it off for 2 weeks so we can have a short holiday,catching boat Saturday or Sunday,France here we come,have to be back for bloods around 7th for introduction and Zometa on the 10 of June .
    The Great Escape begins,because it will e sometime before we can make it abroad again with being on treatment.

    We are both remaining positive,more organised this time, everything ordered,chemist on board,appointments soughted and I intend to make sure all appointments are combined so we spend less time in hospitals,2 1/2 years non stop, love Eve
