My longest walk since before Christmas to the local lake. A round trip of around 20 mins, and represents more progress in my recovery.
Walking to the lake has been a long held ambition, a shame it happened as the weather turned challenging instead of hot and sunny - but I managed to stay dry between the showers.
Thank you to all those who sent messages of support during this trying time of illness they were much appreciated and looking at the photos posted was a delight when I was feeling ill and tired.
How absolutely lovely to hear from you, dear Katharine, and well done on the achievement. I totally understand how significant such things are. After my spinal surgery years ago, I was triumphant to be able to walk just one more lamppost along the main road! You've done brilliantly. Here's hoping you continue to progress steadily and surely. Lovely place to have chosen.
this made my whole day and it's only 4 am. So very glad you are feeling stronger and thank you for sharing your milestone with us so we can celebrate with you. Happy heart-continued prayers
@craftymeg Thank you. It is so nice to go beyond the house and gardens. Getting to the lake was a long term target I had set myself. I just have to be careful and not do too much too soon.

@ninaganci Thank you for your good wishes. I'm normally very healthy but the last 6 months have made up for that! Still well on my way to recovery now.
Katharine
@onewing Thank you. Progress has been slow but steady, in fact the more slowly I have taken things the quicker I have progressed - a lesson there I think.

@casablanca Thank you for your comment and understanding Casablanca. Getting to the lake has been a long term goal, my next is to get to walk round it. It will be one lamp post at a time. I don't want to rush, the last time I got impatient I ended up going no where for over a week. I am fortunate the lake is so close to where we live.

@lizzybean Thank you for your good wishes and pprayers Lizzy. Both are very much appreciated. I hope I can be sensible and not rush to do too much too soon, however frustrating it is to take things slowly.
Katharine
@pattyblue Thank you Patty. I'm not a big fan of hot sunshine so the weather was being kind to me. I loved achieving my first goal. The next is to steadily increase the distance and get to walk round the lake.
Katharine
so sorry to hear that you have not been well, glad to hear that you are recovering
