......although I don't think any of us really know what that is anymore. 2 years since the world was put under house arrest, we are all trying to pick up the pieces of our lives and see if they still fit in this new world. We all know someone who was affected by Covid-19, many of us lost people to it too. Personally I have seen many friends go through it but luckily they all came out the other side. We are not totally out of the woods yet but here's hoping there comes a day soon when we have seen the last of Covid-19.
Unfortunately I've had my own health concerns over the last year and a half. Xmas 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Within a couple of weeks I had started chemo and by summer I'd had surgery and started radiotherapy. It was a strange experience, I expected to be upset about it but through out I felt a calm detachment from it all. I suppose my life was already on hold so it had little effect on my getting out and about. I also had an amazing amount of support, firstly my partner Robert who was there to look after me at every step, my parents who were shuttling me backward and forward to the hospital. And an amazing selection of doctors & nurses who explained every step, answered all questions and were at the other end of a phone if ever I needed them - it is in honour of them that I chose our current charity Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre.
I am now clear of Cancer and awaiting the first of my annual check ups. I kept on sewing over lockdown so now have a lovely selection of animals waiting to be photographed and added to the Facebook page. I'm going to be adding new sections too. starting with recycled silver of which I have a couple of pieces ready for sale and I'm hoping to finish some recycled wood bits soon as well.

Finally I want to say thankyou to all of you - without you there wouldn't be a Jean-Cycled.
Thank-you for all the money you have helped me raise for some wonderful causes and for many more to come.
