Neuralgia is dreadfully painful.

We are also waiting, for my 90 year old Mother in law who is in hospital and fading and one of my apprentices who had a biopsy for a brain tumour on Tuesday so the specialists can decide on treatment. Your mention of sandals and hairy socks made me smile. When I first started work at the Community Health Council one of the local psychiatrists thought he was making himself totally accessible by wearing sandals and socks. His clients just called him a hippy and didn't think much of him as a professional! Augustus John was a great hero to the herbalist Juliette de bairacli Levy. She went and stayed with him for a time before the war and would send him water from Abbotts Well when she was living in the New Forest with her children. Her father, Joseph Levy was a great art patron before his money disappeared. He even paid for the artist, Charles Spencelayh, and his family to reside in Manchester for several years so he could paint the portraits of Joseph and his wife, Rosa. I've always wondered if Augustus John actually visited one of the Levy's house parties in Didsbury and whether his tales of the romantic gypsy life influenced Juliette to dedicate her writing life to the Romany people. I always think her herbal knowledge and subsequent writing came after she found she could earn money writing about the gypsies.Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-72100113893619088852016-11-17T14:53:29.223-08:002016-11-17T14:53:29.223-08:00Sending gentle thoughts to you and for your friend...Sending gentle thoughts to you and for your friend, a painful time.Vintage Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929038050028476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-21055499115946180192016-11-17T13:02:21.462-08:002016-11-17T13:02:21.462-08:00Thanks Dawn.
