David Bowie Exhibition at the V&A.

                      Last Friday I visited the V&A to see the David Bowie Exhibition.


David Bowie had been a hero of mine since I as a teenager in the 1970s and I had always followed his eclectic diverse career with great interest.

From the days when he was Ziggy Stardust through Aladdin Zane. 

Through Aladdin Sane

Through Young Americans

The V&A did a great job in styling this exhibition - not just the costumes but how he created the songs I have grown up with. I didn't know what an accomplished artist he is and his ideas for his stage shows were amazing. The part that made it all complete was the audio guide which included tracks of he most famous songs which pulled the exhibits together. The finale being the large screens with footage of Bowie in concert and the audio guide picking up the track - I could have spent an hour at least just standing there watching and listening.

Still Happy

Blood Test Results are in.............

I had a blood test last week for CEA levels. This is 3 months since my last blood tests and scan. When I saw the consultant I asked and he agreed that I would have a blood test at 3 months just to check that there was no activity and in case the 6 months results were just to early to show anything up. After all that was the first time that I had not had to have some treatment as there was another tumour had appeared. The brilliant news is that the blood test is normal - in fact it is 1.0 and the scale for normal is 0- 2.5. My February test was 2.0 so yippee!!! It's 1.0 yes 1.0!!!!!

While CEA is not a fool proof indicator being 1.0 is a good place to be!!!

Bluebells ..........

It must be Spring.......... the bluebells are out in full bloom at The Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary in Shere. Their blue bell woods are just beautiful - just had to share these pictures with you so you could get an idea.

Stunning and a wonderful healing experience too! Can it get any better?

Mijas Spain a short break in May

Our dear dear friend Sally kindly let us borrow her beautiful apartment in Mijas over the May Bank Holiday. We had such a wonderful time and it felt like summer had arrived. Sunshine just gives you that energy and mind boost.

Here are some of the photos from the trip...........
