Weekend at Wymbolwood

The warm sunshine up at Wymbolwood this weekend came with a gentle and soothing breeze that relaxed us all. What incredible weather.

Between naps, some more Jane Austen, short walks on the summer-like beach, dinners with family and general gazing at the same view we've all loved for so many years, it was a much-needed weekend up at what Mom calls our 'sanctuary'.

Mom was up for a short walk each day, for visiting on the deck in her favourite chair, for telling old stories and she was anxious to pitch in with the clean-up before heading back to the city today.

We all remembered once again how the cottage brings us strength by refreshing and rejuvenating us for what lays ahead.

  2. I'm glad your weekend was rejuvenating and that the weather cooperated. It sounds, Liz, like you gained strength from being there and that is so good! My wish is that you all continue to draw from the pool of energy that surrounds you and from each other. Much love,
    Ellen

  3. Dear Christie & the Pashby family,

    Sally Bliss shared with me your mom's recent diagnosis as we recently have been through the experience with my husband Gawen's mom Hilary Thompson.

    We wanted you to know that our thoughts are with you all.

    Christie - if there's anything we can do, Sally knows how to reach me.
