While my body continues to shout at me loudly with symptoms, Nature continues to deliver gifts. If I were well I would have done more than just scatter some spare wildflower seeds last year, but what natural beauty!

Crafting a Path Through Illness - suitable for all ages!😆 Is this 3 year old autistic boy the cutest reader of my book? He’s my grandson so I’d say yes but do challenge me with any photos/stories of unexpected, cute readers.😀

Sometimes, when too unwell to create, nature provides a creation for you. This rose appeared in my garden from nowhere. A seed dropped by a bird? It feels like a ‘feel better’ gift to stop me moaning about not visiting other gardens!
