It's a new day feeling kinder to and happier with myself......

A  much better day .... The black cloud has lifted. All brought on by my six monthly scan which was on Friday morning. I thought that I had kicked that scanxiety feeling but obviously not! I just have to accept that now we are in that limbo period awaiting the results. The blood tests were as my consultant described " unremarkable". I really like that word in this regard.

But as I have said before on here the blood tests are only an indication. But it's a good sign and everything crossed  for a good scan result too.

So today I have had a dog walk in the wind at Virginia Water. I have made Jerusalem Artichoke and Almond soup for lunch. This is a recipe i have not tried before from my Abel and Cole cookbook. I have also made a wholemeal soda bread with stout to go with it. A hearty lunch for a blowy day.Cooking always cheers my spirits.  

Look at this photo of this beautiful  Amaryllis  - a striking colour. My friend Sara is away on holiday and I have been looking after her plants for her and this bloom snapped off a bigger display she has. So I brought it home for me to admire.
