My dear friends, thank you for clicking on my blog today when I have of late offered you nothing. You know some of the struggles that I have faced lately, but because more and more kept landing on my plate, I
You know about my lost friendship with two people I thought were rock-solid, who I thought knew and understood me, who I thought would stand next to me rain, hail or shine. The dissolving of that friendship, that I truly cherished but couldn't do a thing to save, crumbled me. Up to that point, my husband and I had been enduring one trial after the other that we faced as a family. Little did we know what was to follow.
Without getting too depressing, there is more. A major family rift; a life not realised; a life changing decision and the c-word. Yes, I have to undergo a test to rule out the dreaded c-word (can't say or write it as it isn't a reality so why bother?)

On a lighter note, I have completed some knitting projects, finished the back of my quilt and need to update you on my hair (as one does). I hope to get that all to you soon.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope this post wasn't too dreary and awkward.
Love Fi xxx
