    I don't know what the handles are like, beanie, but could you use something like the basket that goes on a pushbike? Or just hang a shopping bag over the front - maybe quite a stiff one, like a jute bag?

    When I had the Zimmer frame for my broken ankle it had a tray on the front which was quite handy. The old lady acros the road from us had a frame with two trays.

    Hope you make it to the gathering xx

  • Fill a flask, put in a bag and carry an empty cup until you are seated. Please don't take any chances with hot liquids in terms of both burns and spills. Isn't it weird that I would see missing a family gathering as a positive!
