A big disappointment

Well readers, you are lucky to get a post from me today, but this is only because of a big disappointment this morning. I had decided to go Cambridge to work on the kitchen garden and more importantly bring back some leeks and purple sprouting broccoli for myself and stay for Sunday lunch.

However I drove off down the road to hear a clanking sound from somewhere in the car. I have a suspicion that it might be the suspension but I definitely could not drive to see my son and so round the block I went back home. It will mean a slow trip to the garage tomorrow morning and it could be expensive!!

I was really looking forward to my day out as it would have ended a very enjoyable weekend on a high.

On Friday I went Nordic walking from Souldrop and it had rained hard the day before -

Very muddy

Sticking to the drier parts

That is better

I decided to wear my very heavy boots as I know they are completely waterproof and I am glad I did. We ended the walk with a lovely lunch at the Bedford Arms. It was a good day.

Yesterday was a 50+ Adventure Club activity that I had organised and though I did not plan to take part I was very tempted!! The group were going Roller Blading and when I got there I discovered that they also had roller skates and I remembered doing this when I was about 10 or 11 years of age!! I had loved it then but decided that though they provided wrist support, knee and elbow protection I wouldn't just in case I fell over - I know, I am a coward!!  

Roller skates

Roller blades 

Slow and steady to start with!

By the end of the session they were all whizzing round (well almost), though there had been a few spills on the way AND I didn't envy them one bit!!

Anyway I better get on with some sewing/embroidery/crochet in lieu of a Lovely Sunday Lunch and have a dry crust of bread instead - only joking.
