So here is my apron - I love it. Although I don't think I will be wearing it to cook in!!! I loved making it. It is good to actually finish a project or two! I have nearly finished knitting Chloe's tank top which is the first 'big' knitting I have done in years. All my other knitting projects have been for babies, necks, brooches or feet!

Yesterday I enjoyed a lovely morning with a friend. Well it was nearly a day as the morning slipped into the afternoon with out me realising!

Today church and a visit to Savill Gardens with a bit of knitting and possibly some ironing thrown in!

This week brings coffee with friends, blood test (postponed from last week), flower arranging, tutoring, ladies bible study, housegroup meal, cooking and finishing projects.

I am nearing my 2 year anniversary of diagnosis. With breast cancer you have so many dates which are etched on your brain - diagnosis, first and last chemo, mastectomy and final treatment but for me I will celebrate that I am alive 2 years after diagnosis and continuing to get better. I am not sure how I will mark this - but I will. (Ideas on a postcard!!!!) I am SO thankful to be here and to be loving life in all its fullness. Our summer ahead is full of lovely things;

• Shakespeare at Stratford and an overnight stay
• Holiday in the Lakes
• Ballet and Opera visits
• Vincent and Flavia with my sisters and daughters
• Chelsea Flower Show
• Summer exhibition at RA
• Afternoon tea in London
• Olympics - rowing tickets
• Para-Olympics - swimming and stadium tickets

How can I not be grateful that I have so much? All of this is interspersed with hospital visits just to keep my feet on the ground and my heart trusting the creator of the world.
