Just catching up on everything, YAY glad you bought the walker. I think it will feel a relief in going out and about again and feeling like you can trust it more than sticks.

Much excitement here today. It’s arrived.Worth the hefty price tag. Feeling a tad emotional. It’s very lightweight.

Just been catching up. I’m pleased your mum is on the mend.
What kind of blankets do the cats need…..would a knitted or crocheted one be of any use or does it need to be a particular material so the claws don’t get snagged?
Ds has no right to suggest what you spend your money on or not. You NEED the walker. Glad the cash is spent and it’ll keep you as steady as possible 👏👏👏and boost your confidence to keep getting out there. Don’t let anyone tell you what you need…..they’re not walking in your shoes. You know you best 👍👍👍👍I’m gutted that the coffee and gift shop has closed. It was your favourite place and quite special. I’ll be very surprised if there isn’t another opening somewhere as it’s such a beautiful area…..and us tourists need somewhere to go too 👍👍January spends - £587.586 -
Ooh, I love the colour Beanie! 🤩 Hope it does its job and facilitates much adventuring xxx4
