Oh myyyy .... I took TOOTLE JUNIOR on his first BIG ride today. I had to put a pillow between the back of the seat and my back because the tyres are solid and I feel every bump, but I managed TWO MILES around the countryside. I fed the ducks in the park, went past the church where my friend is buried and shouted HELLO .. I got fresh air .. and I SPOKE to people!

I'd began to become a bit of a recluse as walkig with crutches is hard on the arms, and Derbyshire is full of hills.

I am so so grateful for my Mum loaning me her mobility scooter ...
Mum took me to the local garden centre yesterday and walking with crutches is a definite NO NO at the moment, so this scooter is a BLESSING.

Thankful. x
