A lovely capture and pov ( I hope you didn't fall in ! ) Nice to have a little outing and the weather was good yesterday . Dropped kerbs (or lack of ) are a nuisance, - if you find a dropped kerb - you have to be aware whether there is a corresponding dropped kerb on the other side of the road !Not easy is it ! (Mon morning moan over !! ha ha !)
Sorry about the kerb issue. I understand that one. I remember when I had a broken ankle, my young son was wheeling me in a wheelchair along our road. We needed to cross and found the refuge in the middle of the busy road had a little kerb up onto it and off again at the other side! Crazy hard to get out of the way of the traffic safely.
I agree with what you say, Beryl, about dropped kerbs and did not take it as a moan on your part. It's great to have a scooter to get about but always something to think about when you go out. We almost give marks out of ten for the accessibility of the places we visit: seaside proms are the best! I hope you are feeling at least a bit better.
Sorry you seem to be having difficulty walking just now Hazel.....so glad of the convenience & freedom of the modern buggy....you are finding out all about problems that able bodied folk never give a thought to until it’s their turn!

Thanks for kind words, Pat. It seems hard that in less than a year I have gone from being 'able-bodied' to unable to walk out, having to use trekking poles even for a stroll around our garden. My big problem is that painkillers nearly all conflict with the meds for bipolar disorder. I now have a supplement (boswellia/curcumin) that I am about to try. I prefer not take unregulated products but have got rather desperate................
@quietpurplehaze So sorry Hazel & I miss your lovely people & their history photos! Perhaps when you get the right medication hopefully things will improve. Thinking of you. We are all slowing down anyway...I have found that this year.
Thanks Pat. I miss my portraits but of course it is doubly difficult to approach folk and ask for a shot with the spectre of the virus lurking unseen everywhere. I would be worried and I guess they would be too.

I'm a bit of a wimp sometimes and didn't like the occasion when Ray said 'I'll stand in the road and hold the traffic up.' He hasn't said it since!
