Back In Galicia

Well I have made it back here but only temporarily. I am awaiting my third and final op (I hope) to remove my ileostomy and reconnect my plumbing to the outside. I am on the list and could be called back any time so Tim and I are enjoying life as much as we can, eating fabulous meals and sitting by the log burner reading and sipping decent wine. It has been a horrendous winter by all accounts and we are still waiting for Spring to arrive. Bitterly cold days, endless rain and a lack of firewood is trying to dampen our spirits but we have bought pretend sawdust logs from a DIY store and the celebration of life continues. Tim will stay on here when I am called back and I will do my best to return as soon as possible but complications are expected with the rerouted plumbing (see Lower Anterior Resection Syndrome). At least the cancer is gone (for now fingers crossed).

Despite all of the above I am still planting seeds for the summer, squashes today and we have a selection of seedlings coming on in the polytunnel waiting for the warm weather to return. No new pics today, everything is so dreadfully overgrown and the only tree in blossom is the hardy blackthorn. I shall therefore attach something cheering from the past.

Here are our faithful boys Sam and Toby who have had a difficult time with a variety of sitters but who continue to give us love and cuddles when we need them most, especially when we have left-over meat from our menu del dias.
