I wish that were so here. We'll be covered in white until at least April, I fear... LOL! I just love all the nature specimens you share with us here--always amazing to see!

Twiglet started full time school last September - I wasn't happy about that but that's another story. He was ill constantly up until Christmas, I spoke to his headteacher and said just what you said. He never had time to stay at home and rest so his poor little immune system was constantly struggling :( We are hoping he will be a little stronger now. Your walk looked just the ticket, I hope your girl soon feels well again.<br />Twiggy xTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244996855788768839.post-17080771637566865672010-01-14T21:43:14.702+00:002010-01-14T21:43:14.702+00:00Hi Pip, firstly, love and hugs to Lucy, hope she&#...Hi Pip, firstly, love and hugs to Lucy, hope she's feeling brighter today.

I think you're right about convalescence - it seems old fashioned but it had its very real and essential purpose - allowing proper recovery. In the regency period convalescence was a very serious matter as far as I can tell. What a great decision to let her mend slowly. All hats off to you.<br /><br />These are beautiful nature pictures - my favourtie has to be the sphagnum moss. Thanks for posting this - all our nature is still smothered in nasty slush.silverpebblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456289271322986540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244996855788768839.post-56045064380117904162010-01-14T14:06:50.336+00:002010-01-14T14:06:50.336+00:00It's so lovely to see somewhere without snow. ...It's so lovely to see somewhere without snow. Although we are not knee deep in the stuff it is very restricting after a while. You are so right about your daughter and the same goes for grownups too I think. If we have even just one day away from work on sick leave we have to have an interview with the manager that makes you feel like a fraud! Staying at home will do her the world of good. Love the idea of mending legs that hurt with chocolate. I'm sure it would be beneficial for lots of ailments.<br /><br />Traceyfunkymonkeyhttp://www.funkymonkey-bookworm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244996855788768839.post-34187587980196093752010-01-14T12:44:08.050+00:002010-01-14T12:44:08.050+00:00I've always believed that children shouldn'...I've always believed that children shouldn't go back to school until the day after you think they're better! Definitely not easy to do these days; not just for those mums who work, but also the pressure we feel from schools - no-one wants their child to miss out on valuable teaching time.<br />But, it's the right thing to do if you can manage it, so good on you fro taking that walk.
