Summer Break

The past month has been a particularly stressful time.When I think life is on the up again I get slapped back down to square one.  Normally I can bounce back quite quickly but there is only so much bounce in a ball before it becomes overstretched and not fit for purpose.

Gizmo has stopped vomiting but has started sneezing regularly.  A new symptom altogether.  One of my hens is poorly, I doubt that she will see the end of the month.  My animals' welfare continues to give me great concern and the worry is impacting on my own health and state of mind.

I have loads of personal issues to resolve too.  I need to focus on getting myself back together again.  I don't want this blog to become an unhappy place, regaling nothing but tales of woe but it seems that is the way it is going at the moment.

For now, I am going to step down from the blogging platform.  I hope to return with a new vigour and zest for life once more.

    Oh Simone, I am so sorry to hear that you are having health problems yourself as well as your animals. You are right to step back for a while, to re-group, as it were. Concentrate on yourself for a little, make sure your are 100% fit. We'll all be waiting for your return.

    So sorry to hear that you are going through difficult times just now - been there done that so can sympathise. Rest assured that good times will return and sometimes that is just how life is. Nothing you can do other than accept for the time being - easier said than done I know! Hope that it won't be too long before Gismo is 100% again and that your own health issues are resolved and you begin to see happier times. Take all the time you need we'll all still be here when you feel like blogging again. Viurtual hug xx

    Sorry things aren't great for you at the minute Simone. Hopefully everything will sort itself out soon. You take the time you need to rest (you will be missed though). I hope your little animal friends will pick up soon as well.
    Take care,

    Oh Simone, it is true that it never rains but pours! Never feel bad about using your blog to write about how you feel, as we don't just pop by for "happy-go-lucky" kinds of posts, but for seeing how you are doing. I'll miss your posts, as others have said, but hope your break is what you need xx
