I'm back

 Its been ages since I last posted probably because I've had a lot going on during the day so very tired in the evening and not felt like writing a post. 

So what have I been doing? Some of it is just family things. We didn't get back to the swimming pool again for a while but we have been every week since the end of February except for last week when I was at our daughter's. Little GD was quite nervous at first but says its not scarey now which is good. I've been looking for adult and child lessons but nowhere will take a 4 year old. Three years is the upper limit so after that the child has to go in on their own. I can't really see the logic in this. All children have different needs and gd is quite shy and for a lot of her life we have been in lockdown. Anyway we are enjoying the mostly empty pool one afternoon a week. 

I had her all day and overnight a couple of weeks ago and she asked for the lego for the first time. Some of this lego belonged to my nephews who are now 60 and 61. The rest was gd's daddy's. Lots of friends children have played with it over the years. They are grown up as well. These are her first attempts which I thought were very good.

I have been twice to DD's. In February I drove  there as her car was still not repaired. She was actually without it for 6 weeks and got it back the day before I came home. She is near shops and a country park but due to suffering with ME she is very restricted without the car. I had the frugal trip last week using my bus pass and taking my own water and food. It's quite a long journey but I enjoy it. I have to take 3 buses but its a very smooth connections. I load stuff on my tablet and also enjoy the views passing through all the villages. The last bus stops right outside dd's. I also enjoy the fact I save about £20 worth of petrol.

During the last visit, one afternoon while DD was resting, I took the bus to Walton on Naze then walked along the cliff top to Frinton. This is the only bit of this coast I hadn't walked and it was beautiful especially as the weather was so wonderful the whole week. I've walked from Frinton to Clacton so this time I went back by bus. 

I haven't walked a lot locally lately but I do have a couple of walks I would like to do soon.
