Scooters

Sunday, 12th July

Kay and Gavin arrived. Been camping at Loch Lomond and had a great time. The boys thought it was very funny to see me on my scooters! Douglas seemd to have stretched when he was away and now to his delight, he is taller than me. It's not hard right enough as I'm not quite five feet. Robert brought me radishes he had grown in the garden so I had them with my salad for tea. Delicious. Going to phone him to tell him I enjoyed them.

Saturday, 11th July.

Bobby came up to walk round to Rita’s with me, though I told him I’d be fine. Stopped at Dick & Joyce’s, then Nettie Mack’s. Had lunch with Rita,then came back on my own and really enjoyed it Lovely morning of course and the gardens seem to be at their peak just now with the rowan trees heavy with berries just ready to turn red. After tea went up to top shops as I needed a few things and stopped for a chat to one or two people I know. Arthur phoned from Paxos. Coming home on Monday.Stephen was camping at Blair Atholl, then went to York.

Finally took the plunge and bought a scooter/buggy . Before it arrived Bobby came to to cut down the honeysuckle at the back gate as there is not much space to turn the corner. Then Stuart arrived to help him,then Stephen and finally Helen.Trying to decide where to keep it so thought best place was round the back of the conservatory. We’re going to look at little sheds for it at B&Q. Rita loaned me hers on Monday, so that I could practise and Helen walked beside me. I was fine- the only difficulty was turning in the front gate. Anyway Stephen and Helen went a wee walk with me on my own one so I was OK. It's great to be independent!

Stephen off to T in the park.
