A bit more normallity - scary but gooood

As we are both feeling so much better, we are able to take on a few more things. The current project is to try and get our self catering cottage up to speed. Having had to close both cottages three years ago when we were diagnosed with MDS, we have started marketing just one of them - Swallow Cottage.

In the past three years the Internet has changed a lot. I can do simple blogs and full screen websites. But now I find for modern marketing you have to master Facebook, Twitter, smart phone based web design, and the latest ways of getting Google to notice you. Luckily Roz has been using Facebook for a few months, so she is managing the cottage Facebook site. And I am getting some help from friends on the rest.

Tomorrow we are reloading the names and addresses of previous guests for a mail shot.

Our first guests since we reopened are coming in a week, so we also have some last things to do for that. We had the AA rate the cottage as **** but we were told to put in an LED TV and docking station for smart phones! My, how things have changed.

In addition Roz and her friend are trying to organise some dates to run felt making, jewellery or even ceramics workshops here on the farm.

Getting back to doing more is great, but a little scary at times. We get brought back down to Earth when we have clinics, or I have my 5 weekly bout of chemo. My 18 th bout finished last Tuesday and was the least problematical, touch wood, so hopefully they we will stay like that.
