Fantastic workshop today at @collyers_nurseries @piptreecaf with @inspiredfloristry really enjoyable and lovely to have a handmade wreath for my front door. Thanks again Catherine. #floristry #christmaswreath #workshops #floristryworkshops #collyersnurseries #piptreecafe #inspiredfloristry #christmas
A throw back to 19 years ago when Christmas Eve celebrations at @darleys_restaurant with @gemdewhurst and @sarahevansldn came at the very beginning of December. Only a few days after this photo was taken I was being operated on by the wonderful surgeon Mr Sibbering. He was skilfully removing my breast cancer. Well in truth he removed the whole thing. The resulting scar is amazing. I do remember asking him what his sewing was like 🤣 prior to the op on 6 December 1999. Can’t deny the next 10 days waiting for further results was agonising. Would 1999 be my last Christmas. Sounds dramatic when I say it now some 19 years later but that is definitely how my mind was working. It was working overtime and at that moment not in a positive way. Mentally it took a long long time to stop thinking that every little ailment was the ‘C’ word. That also sounds mad now too. All I can say ladies is please please check yourself and if you do find anything unusual see your GP. DON’T BE TOO BUSY. Doing both these things saved my life. I had some fabulous support but a HUGE SHOUT OUT to my Lovely daughters who looked after me, supported me and were truly amazing especially as they were dealing with their own fears and concerns. ❤️❤️❤️ If I’m posting on Instagram this time next year it will be with a post about planning a 20 year party. As I’m superstitious I won’t be doing any planning until the anniversary has passed lol. #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #breastcancersurvivor #cancersurvivor #family #myfamily
A Christmas initiative with #cashforkids and @magicfm take an unwrapped new toy to various drop off stores. I choose #bensonforbeds and the charity will make sure they are distibuted. From their website - Our new friend Reliant the Robin is out and about pointing Santa to all of the children at risk of waking up to nothing on Christmas morning - but we need your help! Please donate just one gift if you can, and he'll make sure the Big Guy delivers it to a child near you. All gifts should be new and unwrapped, and you can drop them off at thousands of locations including selected B&M stores (not available everywhere - please check the map on your local station website before making a trip!), plus all branches of Wickes, Bensons for Beds and Harveys across the UK. #cashforchildren #christmastoys #christmasgifts #magicfm #bensonforbeds #newtoys
Well No 4 - Eight was a challenge on @genealogyphotoaday especially trying to find a Christmas connection. Luckily my cute wooden Christmas choir set features a 8 point star. ✋. #christmasdecorationheirloom #christmasdecorations #woodendecorations #genealogyphotoaday #gpad_feature
No 3 Wonderland. #genealogyphotoaday It’s all padding honest! Mind I am loving that hat and the fact I’m wearing Graham’s big coat. A once in a life time free trip to Lapland. To see Santa. What a treat. And one I didn’t want to go on initially. Had to think about it over night 🤦🏻‍♀️ only been in the job 4 weeks. On arrival we had to travel further than usually as the snow was scarce. However a trip to remember for many reasons - one being the fact we were accompanying parents with a child who had a life limiting illness. A joyous occasion as they were all very excited about seeing Santa etc. But a very sobering experience for the adults in the party. #eastmidlandsairport #whenyouwishuponastar #lapland #december2016 #reindeer #michelinman #amemorytotreasure #familyhistory #gpad_feature
No 2 Winter. #genealogyphotoaday Always good to get prepared. At the moment it is quite mild but who knows what is around the corner. Winter officially starts 21 December and surprisingly doesn’t finish until 20 March. But not sure Mother Nature got the memo. #scarf #headscarf #winter #keepingwarm #genealogyphotoaday #gpad_feature
