Illness and changes

I know it's been ages. I have opened my blog several times to write up updates. Each time there has been something pressing to do. I was stopped in my tracks by an illness that had me so powerfully in its grip that for 5 days i couldn't eat and suffered soaring temperature whilst feeling cold since the fever broke I have been too weak to leave the bed and feel dizzy after sitting up.

Today I have lain in the sun and feel enough strength to write. I write slowly using an onscreen keyboard. I select each letter and click with the thumb on my left hand. Some-days the mouse is too difficult to press and words are a challenge.

I have been absorbed in the last 3 months with developments in the charity Open Roads for which I am a trustee. This has been stressful and physically demanding. We eventually pulled out of a partnership with another group external to our county on the basis that we felt that there was poor representation of local people and our influence would be insufficient to do the role required.

I hope everyone had a great Easter bless you all.
