Photo Update The Ritz

 Sadly I am still unable to upload the photos from The Ritz .  On a more positive note I received a beautiful record of the occasion from my daughter.  A beautiful album of precious photos in one place, treasured memories.  So that I could share with you I have taken some photos of the photos.  








It was certainly an event that will evoke some lovely memories for a long time to come, cherished memories of a gift given with love.

The pots at the front of the cottage have been refreshed, giving the stone walls a little hug.  A patch of colour added to the white painted wall with solar lights added here and there.  A cottage that gives us so much protection from the elements and is so loved in return.








The herbs are starting there journey, poking through the soil and re-emerging after a stormy few months of dormant sleep.  We have started some extra ones off from seed that are almost ready to be planted into the herb garden tyres.  I love to grow, cut and dry these versatile plants for Winter soups and casseroles.  The vegetable garden is looking a little sorry at the moment but I am hoping Gerard will be able to potter a little more now that a treatment plan is in place for me.  I will start palliative chemotherapy treatment next Tuesday.  This should help to keep me comfortable, it is not a cure.  I am thankful and certainly hopeful that it may give me some extra time with my beautiful family.

As always I feel blessed by your visit and your uplifting comments.

See you soon.

  11. Those are such beautiful pots of flowers and herbs. I especially like the pop of color of the purple one against the white wall. So pretty and cheerful after a long winter of storms.
    The Ritz tea is something you and your girls will always remember and cherish together. So much beauty. (You and your girls).
    I'm glad a plan of treatment has been devised that will allow you to have pain-free quality time with your lovely family.
    Blessings and love,
    Betsy

  18. I’m glad your treatments will start soon and I hope they go well and allow you many happy times — like tea at The Ritz. Your pots of flowers and herbs are so pretty. I have pots of basil, dill, and chives that I use from in my cooking and salads just about every day. They are near my clothesline and I can’t resist rubbing a bit of basil between my fingers when I hang out laundry to just sniff!

I hope your are able to see my posts as well, my friend!
