Hi I’m Penny, the face behind ~
Hope found in M.E.
A Midlife Christian Chronic Illness Blogger since 2016, homebound with Severe ME/cfs since 2004. In 2022 I became a Nazareth Companion with St Martin’s-in-the-fields, London, Nazareth Community.
I love discussion, being creative, humour (laughing has to be my favourite hobby), nature, and travel. Although I can rarely do very much or go anywhere!
My recent efforts to save local wildlife habitat had to mainly stop due to huge relapse, but I continue to do what I can and nudge where I can. #NoPlanetB And have been named as a Champion for Nature by the RSPB this year, 2025. Which is incredibly kind of them.

Lilacs are part of my childhood memories too Penny. It only takes a small whiff of lilac to send me right back to my Grandma’s house. She had a huge lilac bush in the yard, and its perfume was fabulous!

That’s beautiful, Terri. It’s amazing how one scent can transport us back in time. And I just realised I forgot to include stag beetles! The lilac hung over the fence, just where we would see them. Such a beautiful aroma.💜
