Beautiful. Thank you. I live in the states and you have given me a view of Edinburgh.

[Rachh8 in reply to Tewa]

Am glad. This is also a view that even a lot of the locals don't know too... Neil "Secret" Garden 🌞☺👍😎🙏

[Tewa]

There has to be a story behind "Neil's "Secret" Garden?

[Rachh8 in reply to Tewa]

Not really I'm afraid. It's just that it's hidden away and a lot of the locals don't know that it's there as it's beside a church rectory through a private entrance. It is in memory of a young boy that was killed but I don't know the details. Only noticed that yesterday for the first time. A local church runs it and invites visitors. It's lovely... it's got a beautiful view over a lake and lots of birds. Should taken more pics ☺

Thank You. Stories get lost over the years. I like to write and my writer's sense of things suggested to me a story was behind the name Neil's "Secret Garden." I would love to visit England. Don't think that can happen tho. My parents did many years ago, long before they passed. So much history, beauty and sense of place. Much different than in the states. Thanks again for sharing the lovely photos. It was a good way to start my day after a difficult night without much sleep.

You're most welcome. Recommend Warwick if you do get here. I like a scripture which encourages me when i face challenges.... with God all things are possible... So never say never!!

Love the USA. Visited the midstates before I got ill x

[Rachh8 in reply to Rachh8]

PS... I often have complete sleep free nights! Miserable x 😥

[Tewa]

I like that scripture too...with God all things are possible. This has proven true so many times. Thanks for reminding me. And may we ask and envision funding and treatments for all of us.

You visited the mid-western states? I have traveled across country so many times, in my moves back and forth between,first West Virginia, Virginia and Montana. I moved back last June from Montana for better medical care. I left my heart in Montana.

The heat and humidity here in Virginia exacerbates symptoms. Since summer weather has arrived here, I am not sleeping well and having more discomfort in other ways too.

Yes, miserable!

Praying you'll be feeling better real soon. Yes the heat makes these things harder. Especially if like me you're menopausal lol. Have really great rest of the day. Great meeting\chatting with you. PS -went to Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and Kansas x

[Tewa]

You visited some states that I haven't yet traveled to. I love travel and adventure. Miss being able to get up and go..in more ways than one!

I am post-menopausal.

I have enjoyed our exchange.

Wishing you a good day.

[Rachh8 in reply to Tewa]

I know exactly what you mean. Does it get easier? Me too! Sorry rushing off a bit. Trying to clean house on one my better days PTL 👍😎 and you love x

[Tewa]

Yes, it does get easier with the menopausal symptoms. Hang in there..this too shall pass!

I hear ya...have to clean, do other tasks on better days or part of better days.

My day has started with the lovely photos and the exchange with you. Since all of us are more isolated, this has been a blessing for me.

PTL..Praise the Lord..oh yes, praise for the gifts that come in spite of this illness.

xoo

[Rachh8 in reply to Tewa]

Indeed. Glad that's much better use of my time lol. Good to hook up on here. Will look out for your posts ☺ hoovering sucks lol!!

[Tewa]

And..will watch for yours too. I use a small Bissell carpet sweeper most of the time as I can't stand the noise of the vacuum cleaner. Yet..anther challenge with this illness!

I can say I am so grateful for all of the people I have met on this site and others as a result of this. My adventure/travel/meeting new people, is over the miles via the internet and thanks to FND/M.E. There is a blessing in everything. lol!
