Lily Cottage News
Making a simple dress, from a very old pattern I purchased, I would
have made this for one of my daughters, had they have been with us. The nurse and midwifes, prayers and faith in Jesus were very comforting and I was so greatful for the portable scanner from the Registrar, who applogised that it was not very good, I was able to see my daughter in her last few hours with me because of this, I thought I had lost her forever, as I had no understanding about this in my bible, I was able to have a beautiful funeral conducted for her, I was not able to have this for my twin daughters
Summer and Wnter, all safe in heaven with Lord Jesus, will gift the
dress for my friends Grandaughter.
Making a pastle pink flower broach, a gift you could give for your mother-in- law to be,
on your wedding day, mother-in-laws are precious.
September 2024 We have a Yellow and Amber weather warning for heavy rain today and going into tomorrow, from the Met Office, for parts of England, our water levels in our dikes and river are all very low at the moment.
Our village has not flooded.
August 2024... A cake for a Summer wedding, this is made with a simple
plain sponge, with no butter cream, as weather too hot, so just using a apricot
jam filling, hoping to make this today and a Summer wedding boquet.
A new product on its way, "Heavenly," to put your bible in.
It took me five years to learn how to crochet, I decided to have one more try at it, was not good and that was it, however I tried once more and got it,
all be it a very basic granny square, currently working on blankets for family.
October 2023 Storm Babet, flooded our village very quickly and badly,
we had no time to prepare. The river had burst it's banks, our roads became
like rivers and no transport could leave or get to us.
We were in an extended drought for our area, that could only be lifted
if we had a significant amount of rain fall. I would think our Aquafas
(Under Ground Wells) that provide us with water a gentleman was telling me,
I think they would all be topped up now, which is a blessing from God.
Our village has flooded twice more since storm Babet,
not as badly though.
February 2022 Storm Eunice arrived in England, with a red weather warning
danger to life, from the Met Office, so we were able to prepare for this,
our village survived with very little damage.
Suffering with a condition called frozen shoulder, I was offered steroid injections or an opperation, the physio said they could not do anything and said it can last upto 18 months,
I chose to hope it would get better on its own and 18 months later it did.
Piano arrived for my children, they are both blessed with playing this instrument,
and enjoyed their lesson at school with their music teacher
and they were doing very well
New vet arrived in our village, a lady said to me, that she saw a Deer
run into the vets car park, with her baby and the baby Deer was limping.
The vet was not there, they were still moving in, we should keep praying for them to Jesus if this happens and try not be sad. Lord Jesus will also move all kinds
of animals in the wild, on land and in the sea, Elephants, Penguins, Humpback Whales all kinds, to where it is safer for them to be and he will move them, to where they can hopefully have help from us, if they need it, and if it is safe for you to help them,
and try not get upset if you can not help them, give them back in prayer to Lord Jesus.
Tonsilitis...Our village had one year of rather a lot of children and adults coming down with this virus. I almost lost my eldest Son at 7 years old with this, he suffered 8 days with persistant high tempratures and had a slight rash on his chest incredably red cheeks, on the phone to the doctors it was a virus, on the phone to NHS Direct, the nurse said it was medical emergency, off to A&E they said it was a virus and back home we came,
the NHS Direct nurse said he needed antibiotics. Back to the doctors it was a virus, on the morning of his 8th day of having this I thought he was going to die, I was praying and praying to Lord Jesus, my son just curled up in bed and did not want any help, then he sat up in bed to my relief and said, "I would like something to eat," Lord Jesus thank you.
I phoned the emergency doctor to try again to get antibiotics for him and for his brother whos symptoms were a lot milder, the emergency doctor took his temprature and it was slightly up and he had an ear infection and we were given antibiotics, my son's slept very well that night. The NHS Direct nurse helping me on the phone said antibiotics are
the only thing that can get a temprature down with that and they would
not have let that go on longer than 3 days.
You can ask your doctor for a swab test with this tonsillitis, as it can be a bacterial infection or a virul infection, a mum in our village told me this, as her daughter suffers repatedly with tonsillitis, and you are to have a special type of antibiotic for 10 days. My son went on to get this a second time more seriously with a rash all over him, again off to the doctors it was a virus. I phoned the doctor the next day and it was a bacterial infection and we were given antibiotics there and then at the surgery, he went on to have some serious skin peeling mostly on the palms of his hands and fingertips, he went on to have this a third time and the nurse at our surgery gave him antibotics on his second day of having it
and he had no awful symptoms.
August 2010 We had a tornado over our house, I was not aware it was, seriously thought
the roof was going to come off, it hovered over the house for at least 10 minuets or more with a howling whistling wind, I was praying. My children slept through it all.
April 2009 A new virus called swine flu arrived in our country,
my eldest son sufferd with this, I had a nurse from NHS Direct as it was called back then helping me on the phone and did not think he had it and was told to keep him proped up in bed with pillows, if he starts coughing, and keep him off school for three days to just be sure, he started flagging on his 5th day of having it, I phoned the doctor, whom felt he was just coming out of it and he was too late to have the tamieflu,
which is an antiviral medecine to help with the symptoms of a virus,
I was not praying, not sure how to, all very overwhelming.
Moving from our very old rented cottage. My children suffering with chesty
whooping type coughs, we were on a heavy traffic road, with a bus stop outside
our house and it was impossible to keep the fumes out of our home.
My children had their first MMR Vaccination done privately,
one at a time, so this would have helped, they continued to have episodes
of persistant coughs for a few years, the nurse said there was
a coughing virus that can last upto 8 weeks.
February 2008 We had an eathquake, in a very old cottage we were renting.
My youngest son came to me one evening and said "Mum I have brought you your boots in case you can not find them in the morning," I thought to myself odd thing for him to say and do. Our house wobbled that night, I discovered on the news in the morning, that there had been a 5.2 magnitude earthquake,that had affected nearly all of England and some countrys abroad. Our house had a faulty supporting wall, the builder working on it, informed me of this, the house survived. My Son was trying to help me pray to Lord Jesus.
Moved into a very old cottage.
