I expect most of you know now that if I go anywhere it has to be in a wheelchair because my hip never mended and the Tbar that was put in to hold it together has also snapped. I get around in the house aided by a trolley with wheels on it but I have to keep resting in between doing little jobs. Anyway some time ago my granddaughter put me in touch with a lady who charges £10 an hour to take anyone like myself out for a change. Personally I think this is VERY reasonable especially when she has the job of pushing the wheelchair no matter where I want to go. Its ruddy tiring trying to go round with my wheeled trolley but it must be much more tiring to push a person about. We got on like a house on fire and her partner likes to come along as well if he knows she is taking me out. Sounds bigheaded but not meant to be. I believe its because I can always have a laugh with them.
It was her and her partner who took me and my WW2 Land Army friend to Stratford-on Avon two years ago and they would NOT take anything for it. Anyway they asked me where I would like to go for the day and to take my lovely friend because they enjoyed the last trip out and wanted to treat me because I had recommended her to others who live in this area so we are going to the place below tomorrow and I just hope the rain keeps away. Mind you there is a big museum there from what I can make out so we can always make for that. The only problem is whether they let me out again once I am in.
Does anyone live near there or know anything about it? Quite a lot going off according to the reading and we are looking forward to going. Keep your fingers crossed for decent weather for us.
