Bikini polka dot melyn bychan

We always used to go to the library every Saturday morning, but here its not in the main street of the town, and its up stairs with a ramp for people like me, so we don't go as often. I don't understand why disabled people have to walk so much further with these U shaped ramps! I've missed going to town, so yesterday we made the effort and were in town in our favourite coffee shop by 10:00 am. There were a lot of people around, holiday makers? And white whiskery old dogs in push chairs; they always look so comfy!

Dh wanted to go to get his after shave moisturizer and I needed a card so we walked down the main street, me avoiding the broken blocks, I've seen two people trip over them so I'm very careful. I keep hearing that physio's voice saying, 'Lift your foot higher than you think!' My legs are struggling at the moment, I walked too far the other day and they keep telling me I did!.

We did sit for a while and listened to a band performing in the Band Stand, singing summer type pop songs in Welsh! It was very pleasant in the sun and enjoying the music. 


We were busy in the afternoon, Dh cut the grass and I potted up some foxglove seedlings ready for planting out in the autumn. I already have lupins and aquilegia so we should have good size plants by then.

And we are benefitting from the garden, as we're eating our own lettuce and we have sprouting broccoli all growing really well and if you need rhubarb or garlic come to us!.

A rather pleasant Saturday for us.

A NICE day. I'm at our little library in town at LEAST once a week! :)

I've discovered our library app for reading and listening to audio books at home. Great for me, as I can't get to the library anymore. Lovely Saturday for you

I had a nasty trip on raised slabs.The physio told me to wear shoes/trainers with a slight rise in the heel and roll on ball of foot.It makes sense as it is your toe that hits the ground and causes that trip and this way it doesn’t.Keep well and upright

Lovely to sit in the sun and enjoy hearing the band playing on Saturday. I'm glad you are enjoying the lettuce and other veg from your garden too.
