British Countryside
Today, post chemo #3 Day 9, and the symptoms are gradually lessening. Shelley hauled me out to the countryside, just 20 minutes from Oxford, to the magical Rollright Stone Circles and a yummy pub lunch in the charming micro village of Tew. We saw fields of red poppies, had a 10 minute rain deluge, followed by beautiful clouds and light, walked among the warmest golden Cotswold stone cottages topped with thick thatch, smelled big roses.... Life is good. I feel content. I feel lucky. I feel happy. I hope you all had as good a day too.....

I feel lucky too‼️
Glad you got hauled out. Nature is a great medicine!
Sounds fabulous!
Just seeing pictures with your huge smile makes me happy, too. Pics of roses, fresh air and green, green grass doesn't hurt either. You are missing the first major fire of the year in SB right now....Refugio Canyon.
You look fantastic! No one would guess what you are dealing with. And, so great to have friends come and get you out and about. Pics are beautiful. If i'm correct you are half-way through? You and everyone remain in our prayers.
Thank you, Shelley! Bruce , that thatch looks better tended then the thatch on the house you grew up in. Wonder where they harvest the grass. Michelle, I know you'll save the smiles, but save some of that beautiful sunshine for us! Sally
Great moments to savor. Here's to more of the same! Loved the photo of you in the field of poppies!
Beautiful pictures. What a wonderful day Shelley gave you - she is such a gem! You look so good. I'm happy to see you enjoying what surely must be the best of England. Love you!
Beautiful pictures Michelle. So cozy and green. Cheers Shelley!
I love this post -- you look radiant!
So happy to read your post and see you are doing well. What a lovely trip - gorgeous pics. Did you pick out the sweater to coordinate with the poppies? The result was stunning. Keep on keeping on - you're past the halfway mark. XO
