1 This afternoon, I did my first unsupported walk in months and months – no stick, no crutch and I did pretty well though I did find it hard work. It’s been a bitter day but I became very warm as I walked, only down the road, through the park, up the lane, along Lovers’ Lane and up along our road but it felt like miles! I actually cannot remember when I last walked anywhere without a stick and I feel very happy! The lovely Mr S was with me of course, full of encouragement and helping me to keep my gait correct to avoid any hint of limping. I have limped for so long that I really have to concentrate to walk well. I’m getting there.
2 Along Lovers’ Lane there were dozens of brightly yellow Celandines and the Three Cornered Leeks were almost open.
3 Just on the corner of the lane and our road is a splendid Camellia bush, just smothered in blossoms.
