Okay the lowdown on my absence!

No I havent forgotten you all, and I am so sorry I havent been able to view and comment on everyones work I came into DA today and my message center had over a 1000 messages, so unfortunately I have had to delete some as I really cant manage them.

As most of you know I have been unwell for a time now, I have been too and fro from Dr's and Hospitals having a number of tests for Cancer in various places around my body along with tests for ME/CFS. I am currently still waiting for the results of most of these tests and awaiting more tests the next of which is a MRI on the 28th June.

At present I am feeling rather run-down and frustrated, I have been so tired, that the simple basic daily tasks we take forgranted have been too much for me. With this comes guilt ....

I feel that I am letting my family and friends down and for this I appologise...

To those who have noted and emailed me and I havent replied as yet... Please do not take this personal, I will reply as soon as I am able.

Appologies to =brawnyfanta who has come over to take me out on a number of occassions for photography trips only to spend his time couped up in my house keeping me company while I drift in and out of sleep. I really do want to go out Brawny as they say 'The mind is willing but the body not able'.

And now to my family...Thank you so much for all your support and help and love at this time, I really appreciate it and I love you all more than you know. You are my life

On a lighter note!!!

Appologies first of all!!!

I few of you have noticed that I have been rather quieter on the net than I am usually, for this I appologise.

I am currently feeling pretty low and emotional due to the fact I am awaiting to have some biopsies done, once these are over I hope to get the 'all clear' and carry on as I was.

On a lighter note!!!

I have been out and about this weekend with =brawnyfanta who needed to try out his 'new baby 350D', we had a tiring but great time around the dales, in particular I must mention a place called 'Keld' in Swaledale. I has the most beautiful landscapes and waterfalls.

Keld is a tiny village comprising of only a couple of cottages a great place for those wanting to get away from it all. The local cafe/shop is very welcoming and very reasonably priced for starving artists like myself

take a look at what Keld has to offer [link]
