February

Can't believe we are nearly at the end of February and I haven't posted. Well I have accomplished some goals for this year. One thing being to see more of family and friends so last Monday I went to visit oldest sister and BIL. I don't like driving there but I can get a bus which has a stop less than two miles from their house and then my sister picks me up in the car. I use my bus pass so no cost to travel. Next week I am going to see 2nd sister and BIL but happy to drive there as I can go through villages and it is only about 35 minutes. Younger sister and BIL visited me since I moved to see where I am now. The older ones can't do the driving now but my niece will bring her parents over in the spring.

I am putting my mark on the new home and feel very comfortable here. Tomorrow I will make a start on sorting pictures to put up in the bedroom.

My aim is to walk for half an hour every day but that hasn't always happened due to very wet weather. Yesterday I walked in our town park and today was along the river so a few photos.





The last picture is the climbing wall and big climbing frame. It used to be the outdoor pursuit centre run by the council where son learned to canoe and DD and I did various activities. I think canoeing still goes on.

I also had a few days staying with DD in Clacton although she was too poorly to do much. It was good to see her though and also visited DB's brother and SIL. I managed one short walk along the sea front.

I have also got back to doing more cooking again now I can eat properly so a fairly busy month.

    You have seen a lot of your family recently which is always nice for a catch up. They are lovely sunny pictures - I am missing the sun at the moment - not the heat but the brighter days.

      It is the brightness that makes the difference even if it is cold.

    I too am aiming to walk everyday but the weather is not conducive to walking at the moment.

    Hi. I'm Ivy. I found you on the blog, coffeeontheporchwithme. Saw your flowers and they made me smile so I cam over.

    I love that you can use your bus pass to save money and that your sister picks you up the rest of the way. And very cool about the upcoming drive through villages.

    Now, I'm off to have a poke about your blog. Cheers and boogie boogie, Ivy.

    What lovely pictures of the barges; so brightly coloured. I always fancied a narrowboat holiday when I was younger but never did it - nowadays I don't think it would be for me.

      The trouble with the narrowboats holidays is that you can't go far before you have to turn around and go back the way you came to return the boat.
