Kind of like not noticing a new hair cut. :-)<br /><br />So what news from the recent tests? How are you doing, my friend?<br /><br />Thinking of you... xxSteve Chamberlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291399917978807911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-69753368701342132752011-07-10T21:15:23.173+01:002011-07-10T21:15:23.173+01:00You're bringing order to what was chaos and gr...You're bringing order to what was chaos and great healthy food where weeds once flourished. I think that's what we do with our own lives after we've been diagnosed with cancer.

We've (well, not me, T) has switched our flower beds over to the things you're growing: courgettes, beans, salad crops etc. We've had bowls and bowls of raspberries and strawberries this year. Absolutely delish with crushed meringue and creme fraiche... wish I could post you some.<br />Where I live the majority of houses are mill-workers terrace cottages with back yards, no garden. There are a few allotments. Someone in the town has started a move to suggesting we get the Council to allow us to take out the geraniums etc from the council flower beds and plant fruit bushes and herbs etc. Guerilla gardening with permission. The idea is they become help yourself. I'll be interested to see if it takes off.<br />All the best tomorrow with the scan.<br />xFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875135033312240905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-87597032542235609722011-07-09T04:10:12.862+01:002011-07-09T04:10:12.862+01:00Life and Living...

Nice to see an area that was wasted now being used, and even appreciated by others. Quite often now when I'm out there, someone else will pop out for a chat - maybe we can get a proper community going again here. London's pretty lacking community spirit at times. <br /><br />Thanks also for the comments regarding the new colours - quite relaxing I thought :-)Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470170206537639792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-78689249710094569532011-07-08T15:07:12.948+01:002011-07-08T15:07:12.948+01:00Carole,

Love the pictures and the kitty looks just like my daughter's cat, Scout! I do hope your scans and appts are going alright for you. Thanks for the updates. I had a scan last week myself and a couple of more tests to come. Ugh.

Just be warned with tomatoes - you'll very likely end up knee deep in the things. Still, tomato chutney is very nice. Courgettes look impressive, and as for all the herbs, they look pretty damn good too. Well done you. I'm sure Diz appreciates his home improvements! xx<br /><br />PS love what you've done in here too. Greys and lavenders: very 'now'!<br /><br />Lou xCandidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188362435668971626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-26715372813029081222011-07-08T13:21:17.614+01:002011-07-08T13:21:17.614+01:00Carole, you have worked wonders with the garden.

Hoping you can gather a band of willing workers to, once again, make it into a community garden.

Nothing quite like it.<br />You should get loads of courgettes, so better look up some recipes. I like mine fried in garlic and butter, bit of salt, all hoyed on a slice of toast with a sprinkling of cheese. Delish!<br />Well done!<br />xxxxshentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320300863521778944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-27598673040433677822011-07-08T07:46:19.915+01:002011-07-08T07:46:19.915+01:00Hi Carole,
