We are approaching the end of the year. Jane had a dose of chemo just over a week ago and the side effects (predictably) are kicking in. She has had a really busy time with Luke and Lydia's wedding and all the preparations for Christmas. This all has a cumulative impact that is really affecting her just now -fatigue, nausea and so on.
Amazingly, she managed two consecutive days of shopping in Southampton where she used a mobility scooter with great success. She also made it to midnight mass at St Thomas' church on Christmas Eve. She was able to be out of bed for some time on Christmas Day but today she has kept to her bed.
I went for a walk this morning, up in the Woodford Valley where Jane and I have walked together in the past. It's not too long and has lovely views back towards Salisbury; I attach a couple of snaps that I took this morning.
Looking back, I hadn't really expected a year like this and I really don't know what we should expect for the year that looms ahead. On the whole, though, we reflect and know that we are blessed. Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and kind messages.
God Bless you.
