It's really kind of you to reply, much appreciated. I think I'm going to have to start telling a few friends to be honest.

Thank you so much for your reply. It's good to hear from someone who's been there. . We've been married a long time, but it's not sinking in! I'll have to find some sort of counselling, as he can't cope. Seeing cardiac nurse soon so will discuss.

I have a recent diagnosis. Mine causes very very rapid heart rate, leading to breathlessness and fatigue. Have medication. Due to see consultant, but something like a cardio version is on the cards.

Well this is a first, #Moths Elephant Hawk Moth in the living room last night!

Many, many Jane Austen fans & I spent yesterday in the Hampshire field where our heroine was born, at the excellently-organised Jane Austen 250th Anniversary Country Fair in Steventon. A village fete on steroids! Look how wonderfully-dressed the members of my book signing queue are!
