More Tottering!.

   

Riverside near Easton


Have had a good week with the sciatica gradually becoming less painful. Only two recorded walks as I have been doing a little gardening too. 

One day I walked into the town and back to do a little shopping and return my library books.

My support bubble daughter Sarah and her husband came for lunch on Thursday. I cooked roast chicken with roast spuds, peas and carrots. They had to scrounge puddings!

Yesterday I drove to Easton to walk somewhere different and to give the car an airing. Enjoyed trundling along the lanes at a slow speed pretending I was cycling. A brightly coloured Jay flew past me. 

I stopped to buy a cake at the West Lea Farm Shop and when I got home discovered I had lost my door keys, quickly went back to the shop where I found them on the doorstep. They must have popped out of my pocket as I pulled out my car key. Phew!

Just missed snapping the heron!

I hope, like me, you are all keeping well and enjoying whatever you are managing to do.

One Old Crock Pottering About.

Over the last three weeks my activities I have done very little worthy of comment, but I thought it was about time I let you know how things have been going. Whilst I am still recovering from my tumbles I have in addition had severe sciatica. 

Luckily I have been well looked after by my family and friends. I can manage a mile or two with a walking stick and on Thursday I managed about 1,5 hours gardening with the help of my two grandsons.

I'm sorry to say I am just getting older and all these things do conspire to prevent one from doing many things. 

To keep myself occupied I have been doing a lot of research to update my family tree and to correct errors. I have found quite a few. It is very easy to get two families mixed up as our ancestors often repeated the names in the family so cousins often had the same names making it easy to confuse the line of descent.

Here are the maps of my little walks:_

















A massive total of just over 5 miles for the period!
