You Never Know What Waits Around The Corner....

Many of you will be waiting to read and see photos of my trip to New York.
Unfortunately this post is not the pre travel musings I envisaged before we took to the skies this weekend.
Our trip has been cancelled for now, my darling mum is seriously ill. How do I feel? I fluctuate between torrents of tears to happiness she may finally be released to join my Dad in heaven.
Already my body has switched to coping mode, I have travelled this path before...of watching and waiting and praying for a beloved parent.

Take care...

Ah Chooooooo

Whinging on my blog is territory I try to avoid but I feel like it today.

Wretched Hayfever. Urgghh. 

To combat this persistent pesky visitor which is invading my life more and more these days I have resorted to a small arsenal of remedies including a vitamin C and garlic concoction I take all year round.

I have been allergy tested and therefore can avoid a couple of food triggers which go to war with my sinus but what I can't avoid is my environment. Spring is looming and bushes are blooming with all their (to my nose) noxious pollens. 

What I desperately need is to visit a humongous city with a fair smattering of pollution and I'll be good as gold. I kid you not. Pollution and I get along just fine.

So hit me with it people...If you are a hayfever sufferer what is in your bag of tricks? I may already have tried your suggestion but if I hear glowing reports that means it's worth another try. 

Much appreciated
