BILL GETS WHEELS

 After Bill had a fall back in 2023 he has found walking quite an effort even though I insist he has a 15 min walk every afternoon. This meant I had to drive him to the community centre in the village when we attended functions there. So we invested in a mobility scooter for him. He has a new lease on life whizzing around the village and stopping to chat to people. I will still take him for a walk every afternoon.

The scooter arrives. It is bright green.
Taking it for a trial run.

Everyone who saw him told me he had a big smile on his face as he rode by.

He stops to chat to neighbours.

 We had a street party last week. It is usually held outside on fold up tables and chairs but the weather was wet so Rosa offered her home for us to party in. Bill had a chat to Rosa's gingerbread man.

It was our grandson, Banjo's fourteenth birthday last week and we celebrated at a nice Italian Restaurant but silly me didn't take a photo of the birthday boy. However I took one of his mum and dad.
