Mum on my mind ❤️


Just over two weeks ago I took mum to the A & E at St Mary's Hospital as she was extremely unwell due to a vascular problem that she's had since November last year. They admitted her straight away, and Erik and I have visited her every day, sometimes twice a day, for the last 16 days right up until today when the bypass operation is taking place. She is on high doses of morphine (Oxycodone that is; Longtec - a slow release twice a day, and Shortec - slow release every four hours) to relive the pain from her gruesome leg ulcer.
And as it happens, she is in the operating theatre right at this minute. Now we're hoping for a speedy recovery and thank goodness she's over here so I can look after her and care for her. On standby now to go and see her when she wakes up from the general anaesthetic. Nurses said the op can take up to four hours, so hoping for a phone call very soon. 🙏🏻


UPDATE: Mum's first two operations went well (angiogram and vascular bypass)- however a couple of days later, she got very ill. Completely unrelated though, it turned out her gallbladder had burst. They had to call in a surgeon late at night for an emergency operation to remove her gallbladder as well as flush out all the toxic fluids including blood in her tummy, they put in drains and she had blood transfusions.  She's currently in a high dependency ward, very week and a little delirious, but slowly but surely it appears she's getting better.  Again, thanks for all the support, messages and well wishes - really makes a difference during hard times like this. XOXO

Sleep over








On Monday evening Scarlett Grace and I went over to Erik and JJ's place for a sleep-over. My friend Ama also came over and we enjoyed the whole evening on their newly decorated balcony before going to bed in the small hours, several bottles of wine later.  Read our  welcome note ("caner's paradise" LOL!) - a classic!

Back in Blighty




First day back in London and it was a scorcher, TWENTY FOUR degrees!!  Perfect inner city weather if you ask me. We strolled all over town through Hyde Park down to Hyde Park Corner and back to Marylebone.  Stopped at a new local vegetarian restaurant which was fab - will definitely return there. Good little sunny outside spot too! 👌

Breathtaking views - always pretty chuffed by this scenery when I get to Casserole in 1650. 
Holiday heroes lol - nothing helps skiing more than a tipple and here I think we had one too many!
