Counting our blessings

    I've been away on what was planned as a relaxing family break in the Alps but turned out to be anything but when Mr. C. had a bad fall skiing and ended up in hospital with three broken ribs and damage to a lung and a kidney. 

    The good news is that he will mend fully, and though he's not allowed to fly while the lung heals, he managed the 1,000 mile train journey back yesterday in relative comfort and is very glad to be home.
