Well I canâ€™t remember the last time I was here to be honest but I moved to Cornwall in 2013 and have been near Bodmin since then.
My husband was paralysed in a routine operation that went catastrophically wrong in 2019 leading to a diagnosis of Loeys Deitz syndrome for both him and our son who then had life saving open heart surgery as he had an aneurysm right by his heartâ€¦..they are both life limited.
Then we had lockdown and survived that and since then Iâ€™ve walked several camino journeys in Spain , retired from keeping sheep last week, am now a full time art and design student and this summer Iâ€™m cycling from Cornwall to Spain slowly on my bikeâ€¦.

Rather eventful as you say. Good thing they found the heart problem; nasty in some ways to know it is life limiting, but better than either of them just dying suddenly. Very sad about your husband, so hope you are getting some help for him.

Are you studying general art and design or are you specialising in something particular?

Good luck with the cycle ride. A long way. Which route do you take across the channel?

All the best for it, and take it gently.

I've kept up with some of you on Facebook, but haven't been on here for a while. Hope you're all well!
