There's No Place Like Home . . .

 Dorothy had it right in The Wizard of Oz.  I rested yesterday and slept well last night, and have been resting this morning.  I felt chipper enough to put two lots of washing on, and am glad to say that soaking and a hot wash have got the Wednesday morning sheet and mattress protector clean again.  My friend Pam came round and I gave her a huge pot of Blue Grass - Glauca Intense Blue (she loves grasses) and we nattered.  First thing I had a LOVELY video call with my darling friend Rosie in NZ.

Cats know when you are ill and take full advantage!  They are clearly very glad I am home again.  It was lovely to have them by me as I napped and rested last night, once the family had gone home.  I watched a lovely You Tube video about Juliette de Bairacli Levy, several of whose books I had in my late teens/early 20s (still have her New Forest one, Wanderers in the New Forest).  She was an amazing holistic herbalist and travelled to remote places, learning the cures that Romani people, nomads, farmers and animal breeders relied upon.  She went to Europe, Turkey, North Africa, Palestine and Greece.  The video is called Juliette of the Herbs.  She was even able to cure dogs with Distemper.  The programme is Juliette of the Herbs, and there are several clips/longer parts.  It is well worth watching.

I have walked about a little today, including a 1/2 mile or so walk near the river, up towards the old railway line walk.  I don't want to overdo things though.  I had to go out for milk.

Oi, you just sat on me!

Lulu loves children, and spent the afternoon cwtched up beside Rosie, who strokes her so gently.

Aynway, I am now going to put my feet up on the sofa and watch some tv, and do some sewing.  I hope you've all had a good weekend.
