We have just returned (Thursday) from a really lovely family break away in Whitstable. Our very special friend Kate kindly let us use her cottage so that we could take some time out. It was great. In spite of a bad weather forecast we had lovely weather and both Francesca and Charlie loved being by the sea. Charlie is addicted to throwing stones into the sea and Fran to spotting boats and collecting shells in her bucket. She also had a go at holding a crab with her friend Joe which is very impressive in my books!! It was great that Fran was able to spend some quality time with Joe (our godson, in picutre), they are like an old married couple!
On Tuesday we took the children and a picnic along to Howletts Wild Park - they loved it, Charlie with his new word of 'there, there' was in his element.
We left London on Sunday but not before popping to Lewisham hospital to get some antibiotics as poor Francesca had a urinary tract infection. They took bloods and sent us on our way. Unfortunately by Wednesday evening Francesca wasn't feeling well at all, she was very tired and pale then developed a temperature and was very sick. Her grandad was able to take both Fran and Stuart back up to Lewisham where new blood results showed that she needed a blood transfusion and they started her on antibiotics.
Today we will find out if she has an infection but it is looking most likely that she just needed the blood transfusion so should be able to come home. The thing with some of the chemo drugs is that about a week after them being administered her blood counts plummet and she does need transfusions (please give blood).

Despite the end of the week we had a lovely time.

hello,
this might be a strange request.
we (my huband, 3 y-old babe rita and I) are having trouble finding a cottage to rent in whitstable.
we're australians and need a big break in the sweet sweet town of Whistable ... we may even relocate there ... not sure.
anyway, does you friend rent her cottage to strangers?
if so, would you mind posting a reply to my blog.
i know its a long shot, and a big ask for you to do this, so don't worry at all if you dont reply (i'm swinging on long shots at the moment).
anyway,
best of luck to you,
sincerely, daniela miotto
