Lets have a catch up...

It's been a while so let's have a quick catch up.
My shoulder is healing well, although it is causing me a little bit of pain. According to the physiotherapist this is my own fault because I am trying to do too much too soon!

Tony and I had a day out to the Lakes a couple of weeks ago, we drove through so many small places it made me dizzy trying to remember them all. We did stop at a place called "The Squirrels Pantry" near Cockermouth, we had read that you might see red squirrels on the feeders there while enjoying a cup of tea. We did enjoy the tea, Tony enjoyed the scone with rum butter, we unfortunately did not see any red squirrels. However, there were some very cute baby rats in the bushes on the feeders.

Peek-a-boo.

We called at Grange-over-Sands,  there is an exceedingly good pie shop there. Tony bought plenty of pies so he could eat one for his lunch, and we could take some with us for later.

While there we called into the park where there is a pond with some ducks and geese. These are  more exotic than we find in Wakefield.

This duck didn't want to share the log and became quite vocal about it.

Driving along I took a few photo's, one of my favourites was this one, I don't know why it just made me smile.

Our last stop before home was Morecambe Bay, where a couple of atmospheric shots were taken.

Back home all was well in the garden, 

Mr Blackbird is still chasing the young ones round trying to feed them.

Come and get your dinner.

The feeders in the garden are always busy, most birds have their favourite ones.

The birds are usually taking turns at the water dish even though there are five water bowls in the garden.

There is usually at least one bird sitting on the fence keeping an eye on the garden, today it was the turn of a Dunnock.

You are guaranteed to see a squirrel at some time throughout the day. At the moment there are at least three visiting and we have some new babies and a small pregnant female coming everyday.

My youngest grandson Logan had his 3rd birthday last week and I finally managed to take a photo of him with a proper smile.

It was my Mum's birthday yesterday, she was 80years young. I hope I look as good as she does when I am her age.  Happy Birthday Mum I love you loads. XX

Until the next time...

All finished apart from the physiotherapy...

My shoulder is healing well, I have had my dressing removed finally. There was a bit of a hiccup when one of the wounds began to leak slightly, however that was soon sorted out. Tony kept changing the dressings to make sure it was kept clean until I went back to the hospital for the dressings removing completely.

I am glad to say I can feel an improvement already, I have had a couple of physio appointments. Charlotte the physiotherapist is very pleased with the improvement I have made. I have exercises to do at home, which  I do 3 times a day, and I see Charlotte every 2 weeks. I don't know how long for usually it is about 8 weeks. I see Mr Foggerty in September.

I haven't done much photography because I have not been able to hold my camera. I will be able to take some very soon.

Until the next time...
