Joansjottings is entering into it’s third year……

Posted on by joansjottingscom

The purpose of my jottings has been to have an ongoing record of the events beyond my control and how they have brought about change in my life. I started the blog fully expecting to have Chris an integral part of my life for so much longer than he was. The time we had I shall cherish forever.

Good memories. Simple pleasures and a remarkable recovery.

Autumn leaves in July.
Tea anyone? We had fun getting the good China out for a special afternoon tea.
My expert jelly maker.
School holidays are time for overnight stays.

I’ve enjoyed having the grandkids company over the school holidays. We enjoy having the rare one on one time together. They miss poppy and want to talk about him and their memories.

Yes, more mittens but there is a reason for this mania.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
