Why I write

I was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago this month. To be precise, on 22nd January 2016. I’d like to say that I started writing about my experience right from the beginning ... but I didn’t.

Finally took some photos in the garden yesterday. There’s a lot going on thanks to the sunshine and rain- perfect conditions.
Loving life flat in the bluebells this morning.
