As some of you know, I was quite seriously ill for the latter half of 2021, spending several months in hospital and then in rehab to get back on my feet. For a time, we (my family and I) weren't certain I was going to see another birthday, but we have been happily proven wrong - next month brings the day that I've seen another journey around the sun and starting a new one, healthier than I have ever been.

For once, I'm actually looking to celebrate my birthday and would love some cards or postcards to mark the day if anyone's willing to send one. I tend to prefer blues and purples, I love flowers, books, cats, anything historical or cultural, but I'm happy with anything you want to send. If you need my address, please let me know and mark that it's for my birthday - thanks will be posted shortly after the day.

I appreciate you all and thank you in advance for reading this! Hope you have a great Friday!
