Ding Ding .End of round four!

[julie93]

Had the last chemo nearly 2 weeks ago.This round has been very up and down and a bit tough at times. I do feel better than when I started it, though still quite tired.

But I'm free at last!

Got my hair highlighted and lowlighted today ( thanks for all the helpful answers to my hair question last week!) I'm really pleased with it.

I'm going on holiday to Wales on Thursday, and really looking forward to that.

Then after that I see my oncologist, but I'm not even going to think about that for now.

Summer is here(despite the weather)!

Best wishes to all,

Juliex

love x G x

[julie93]

Hi Gwyn

Thanks . I'm going to Penrhyndeudreath near Porthmadog. Been before and its lovely.

Whatever the weather I'm hoping for a nice relaxing break.

Ah the memories of Sunday School Outings in the 50's! Plastic macs and fish and chips! Penrhyndaudreath in the rain! I don't remember any good summers in the 50's! Even swimming in Hoylake baths (open air) seems to have been mostly colder and wetter out of the water than in, and these days my grandsons wear wet suits for open air swimming!

Glad to hear you are feeling better Julie!

I am thinking of asking my hairdresser about highlights again! It grew back very grey and I am growing it a bit!

Margaret!

[julie93 in reply to MargaretJ]

Oh Margaret! Are you suggesting that I need to get a wetsuit?! Have checked the forecast and the outlook is showery,you could well be right.LOL.I actually went there last summer and it was really hot , but I have accepted this was probably a fluke.

Funny what you say about the 50's......my childhood holidays were in the 60's and 70's and it was usually really hot....Norfolk, Clacton,Eastbourne, Margate and Ballybunion(Ireland) all baking hot.There was one exception, Hastings, where we had a caravan on the edge of a cliff and storms including gale force winds made us leave after 3 days!

You always make me laugh

Juliex

[MargaretJ in reply to julie93]

Not at all Julie just that my grandsons are, as we say in Yorkshire, 'nesh' ! Having never seen it written down I am not sure of the spelling but basically it means 'soft'!

Ah! Clacton in the 70's! Took my kids there! And Hunstanton, Frinton, Jaywick and Walton on the Naze. Funnily I remember the weather as better then too! We lived in Bishop Stortford at the time, later it was Sandsend, Robin Hood's bay and Filey and, of course Porthcawl, where the inlaws lived! Only 2 kinds of weather! If you can see Devon it's about to rain, if you can't it is raining! Good for me as I am UV sensitive! LOL!

Margaret!

Hi Julie

I've never been there, but it sounds very nice, I am well impressed with your spelling, I wonder if you can say it as well !!l haha....we spent about six consecutive years going to Anglesy and it rained every time LOL my two sons loved it (fishing etc) but my daughter hated it.. but I enjoyed it rain or no rain... have a very very very good time love x G x

[julie93 in reply to Hidden]

[sarah1963]

Congratulations Julie!! We ought to compile a list of things that cheer us up. A trip to the hairdressers and holidays are at the top of my list. As lovely as it is in Norfolk its nice to leave now and again. Its a long old journey from here to Wales we've done that a few times but I love Wales. Really hope you get some decent weather but they'l be plenty to do.

Are your girls coming too?

Sarah

[julie93 in reply to sarah1963]

Thanks Sarah.Yes its a long old journey, but I only need to get as far as Oxfordshire , my friend is driving after that. In fact , driving to Oxfordshire is on my list of things to cheer me up , as I have just got myself a new(er) car and i'm looking forward to giving it a good run.Will take lots of breaks on the way though.

one of my girls is in France, and the other is working at the moment, in fact its 3 years since we all went away together. We may do something later this summer though, depending on how things go.

Juliex

[sarah1963 in reply to julie93]

Treat yourself to some good CDs. I've been in Norwich today and in one shop they were playing 'Disco Fever' and I'm going to get it for the car even though no one else will like it!!

Have a lovely time.

Sarah

[julie93 in reply to sarah1963]

Yes got some new CDs the other day...The Police and Coldplay and sounds of the 70s.Will be turning it up really loud.

Dear Julie

Brilliant you're feeling a bit better and a huge HOORAY for finishing your chemotherapy. I really hope your holiday in North Wales is full of happiness and pampering. It's a long journey from Norfolk to North Wales. It's worth it even if it does rain because it's so amazingly beautiful and the air's so fresh.

Pack your wellies and waterproofs, relax, recuperate and have a wonderful time.

'Cariad mawr' as they say in some parts of Wales - but that will be open to debate as there's no exact translation for ' lots of love'. xxx Annie

[julie93 in reply to Whippit]

Thanks Annie. I'm sure it will be lovely whatever the weather

[Solange]

So pleased for you Julie, I'm sure you'll have a lovely time, whatever the weather.

My husband and I "ran away" to Wales with our caravan this time last year after bad news and again being told I could have no more treatment. It rained an awful lot but we had a super, restful time in beautiful scenery, just in a farmer's field, with gorgeous horses in the next field and a wonderful mountain view.Did us the world of good and we came home feeling "normal" again and I said to all the family - I'm still me - I'm the same old Mum/Gran, life goes on (But I couldn't help touching wood !)

Best wishes, Solange x

[julie93 in reply to Solange]

Thankyou Solange.

Where I am staying is really beautiful, mountains on one side and sea on the other, I'm glad to hear you had a good holiday in Wales.
