Well, well, what a lot has changed for us in less than 2 months - we would all be scared witless if we could see into the future - so just as well we don't know what is round the corner!

We did look at new build houses in Scotland - had an exciting few days looking at houses but the new builds that we liked had a waiting list and the anticipated wait was 12 months hence....not good.

So eventually we found a lovely home which we anticipate moving to but the process is slow down here and we await the buyers mortgage offer so we can move to exchange contracts.

In all of this - after a good holiday again - Robert received bad news - the big C has come back and he needs more treatment.

As I write,  Robert is in at the Barts hostel and I am at home in London with Alleycat!  Tomorrow I will spend the day with Robert and then Friday he can come home for two days or 'normality'.

God is keeping us strong - and we are leaning on the support of friends - many who are FB friends and we are so glad of this support. Prayers are so important as is trust and patience at this time.  We love each other so much and in these difficult days it is good to get so much time together.  Last time Robert was ill I had the added pressure of work - that was tough. This is tough but I don't have to go to work and that makes such a huge difference.  My mission at present is to support Robert back to health and to get our new home sorted.

Tonight an old song was running through my mind:

Wash from my hands the dust of earthly striving,
Take from my mind the stress of secret fear
Cleanse though the wounds from all but thee far hidden,
And when the waters flow, let my healing appear.......
