Last weekend Mr C purchased two suits in Birmingham. They required tailoring so this weekend we returned to pick them up. This gave me the opportunity for a healthy walk around Birmingham follwed by an indulgent browse around Boundary Mill on our way home.

Trench Middle Pool
After sorting some things out for mum I had a window of opportunity for an impromptu walk at Trench middle pool which was on my way home.

Attingham Park…
… followed by sunset at Horton
Today was the first time for three weeks that I was able to manage a post volunteering walk in Attingham Park. I wasn’t able to due to the restrictive visiting hours in hospital. Mum has moved from hospital but is not yet home.

Lincoln – Day One…
…Good Friday
Miraculously, we left home and picked mum up on time. Twenty five minutes later, after topping up with petrol and returning home to fetch Easter gifts that we had forgotten to pack, we eventually left our locality.
We had a good journey apart from our decision to stop in Newark for lunch. The traffic there [...]
