The weeks fly past. Jane is still off the chemo and will be seen by the oncologist next Thursday. Her ankles are still badly swollen and she has flaking skin on her hands and feet. The Doc will review the side effects and make a decision with Jane as to whether she starts the next cycle on Thursday; possibly she could go back on a lower dose.
This weekend we have been in Kent visitng Jane's family. We called into Canterbury on Friday evening to see Jonathan and Cherry - Jonathan has just left for a week working in the US. After supper there, we went on to Broadstairs for the remainder of the weekend. We caught up with Janet from Thanet, Janette (from Dover) and Susie from Broadstairs (St Peter's) - is that right Susie? This week's pic is Jan from Than and her Mummy with Jane at Morelli's Cafe (famously untouched sixties decor and fantastic coffee in Broadstairs.) Please take note of Jane's spotty blouse (it's very pretty).
We also had birthday coffee with Jean, Kay and Len. We were treated to Sunday lunch at the famous Dog and Duck with Cherry by Jane's parents and then headed back to Salisbury. On the way home we popped into see Lydia in Guildford.
Despite swollen ankles Jane managed a walk along the beach and plenty of socialising - all in all another good weekend. Please pray for Jane's ankles and a good visit to hospital on Thursday. Love and thanks to all!

hi Jane & Peter,
Lovely to read your updates, Jane hope your swollen feet improve, and that it's good news on Thurs at the oncologoist. You look lovely in your photo with your pretty spotted blouse, i love spots and polka dots, reminds me of some dresses I had as a little girl with pink polka dots they are classic arent they?
busy week this week, going to TO for a workshop in alla prima oil portraits, very excited about that, Dave will drive there with me, drop me off at the Arts & Letters Club Toronto, and will spend the day helping Rachel move her big stuff to her new apartment in Port Credit. She has a new job as a junior corporate agent with ITL - American Express travel...have i told you this before sorry if repeating, but am really happy for her, it is full time 9-5,and no weekends she is ecstatic about that after 5 years of shift work waitressing!

It will be first time we've seen them in 2 years, they are now living near Hamilton On, Mary is no longer working and Mark is CEO of a horticultural company that grows and sells trees & manufactures garden containers. !! Dave is off to Afghanistan June 16 but back on June 22, (!!) he will be in Kandahar just 1 day for a meeting with other NATO partners who also plan training exercises for the troops deployed there. Janie and Holly are well too. Shall send you some piccys by email.

Hello all, Im loving the updates and this shot outside Morrellis is fab, yes the spotty blouse is lovely and you look happy to be with your friends and family. I had an aunt who lived in St Peter's too, and remember fondly the treat at Morrelli's. I hope this is a good week for you and that your feet do get more comfortable. We are having a very wet Bank Holiday up here in Herts! Luckily it was dry for Pearl's 8th (!!!) birthday treat to Legoland on Saturday, she (and we) had teh most brilliant fun day out. Got loads done and a happy happy time. We send our love and prayers to you and everyone you hold dear.
After months of not having the internet, I find myself back in the brave new world and on the 'Blog', only to find me!!!!
Oh dear...but hey, I'm surrounded by the people I love, My mum, My Jane (sorry Peter and kids, but she is mine sometimes!)and Morelli's! Who said alliteration had died!! You are both now replenishing your spirits in beautiful Italy. Love to you all
