And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

July Visit to Herefordshire

 


We finally managed to return to Herefordshire for 4 nights in July.

Just a few photos from the trip.

We had hoped to go out most days but unfortunately on the second day I developed cellulitis again which made trips out difficult.  I did have what looked like an insect bite before we left home which then turned into cellulitis.  Fortunately a pharmacist in Leominster prescribed antibiotics which lasted until we came home a few days later when I was able to obtain more from my GP. At least we managed to get away for a short break even if we didn't go out!

Rather fed up that cellulitis returned last week so am now on yet more antibiotics - a different one this time.  Had to postpone trip to Herefordshire and re-arrange boiler service as a result :(


The ongoing  problems with low salt levels continue and I seem to be going to the GP every few weeks for blood tests.  The GP is not sure of the cause and has referred me to the hospital but there is a 6 month waiting list and when you try and book an appointment it says there are none available!


Hopefully, everything will improve soon and we will be able to return to Herefordshire and I can start going for days out again.
