I remember you writing about visiting Normandy, and about your father-in-law being part of the landings, but I hadn’t realised (or remembered?) that it was Omaha!
also, I am sending well wishes and mentioned you in a post this week – because last summer I did a five-minute photo shoot with some mint tea and you know I thought of you and your 5-mnute posts, with the tea, and so much more.
🙂
Thanks so much Yvette. I also have a garden full of mint, but have been making a lot of middle eastern dishes and salads that use mint. My taste buds are a bit off at the moment and herb teas aren’t really working for me at all.
I’ve had my last chemo session and am slowly getting my energy back. I now understand the term “chemo brain” — and am glad I haven’t been trying to work in the last couple of months. Will probably get back to blogging (or at least reading others’ blogs) soon.
Thank you. I hardly ever visit WP these days, so my apologies for taking so long to see your message. I’m ok; taking each day as it comes and feeling pretty good.
Hope that you’re well.
Hi Jude. Thank you. I’m ok; feeling pretty good and trying to just get on with life. I had a scan/blood tests in February which showed the chemo shrank residual tumors a bit. They will grow and spread, but I have no idea how quickly. I’m due to see the oncologist in a couple of weeks, and I guess I’ll know more after that.
I hope that you’re well. xx
Good to know you’re getting on with life, I hope your garden and photography are still bringing you joy. I hope you have good news from the hospital, I shall keep my fingers crossed 🤞 and send you many hugs ((()))

The mangroves that we’re systematically removed further along that coast. If you can’t trust the council ….

Mangroves grow really well here — sometimes to the detriment of other species.

I should say so. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, so that name caught my eye.

I suspect ours got it’s name second-hand; via the D-Day landings

Right where my father-in-law landed on D-Day and fortunately survived. Our visit there some years ago was marvelous and somber.

Hi there – I bet the middle eastern dishes delicious and healthy – mmmm – and wonder if they are complicated to make. Hm
