We had a little sunny trip to Lee on Solent. I also got off my scooter and walked about 150 yards along the prom with my trekking poles, hoping next time it will be not so slow or painful..........
Trundle is just the right word here....one of the stipulations in any new house we buy is that I could ‘trundle’ along to the shop like this if need be in the future! I doubt the roads would be as smooth as this though! You look like you are having a great time & well done on the walking!
Oh thank you Pat for encouragement. Seaside proms are the best for surfaces for scooters, just have to be careful not to hit head-on pebbles thrown up from the beach as they ‘pull’ the steering. I am becoming something of an expert!
lovely photo Haze and the promenade looks a lovely place too.
The railings look new and shiny
Ray did a good job with the photo, he got a straight horizon, which is always a good sign that someone knows how to take a photo :)
Such a smile you have, full of sunshine and promise. I like how Ray used the shadows and lines. Very glad that you are walking a bit again. Stay strong and safe.
I am really happy with mine now. It's not all-terrain and it's necessary to think about where you want to visit but it gives a really good measure of freedom. We have a hoist in the car boot which lifts the scooter in and out and saves Ray getting a hernia!
So very many thanks for all your comments, encouragement etc etc. Having tried, in vain, loads of stuff to help improve my osteoarthritis (diet, lotions, potions, copper insoles...) I have recently had help from a physio who gave me a series of excerises to do 2x per day which are really helping, also I meditate each day following Jon Kabat-Zinn's 'Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief' (2 CDs) and I really feel the pain is lessening.
One step at a time as they say. Hopefully continuing your present regimen will bring more mobility and less pain. In the meantime the scoter looks like a good aid.

Margaret, for me it’s no choice: ride the scooter or stay indoors. I am used to the idea now!

Thanks for nice comments. I agree Ray takes a good shot. This one could have been hard to keep straight.

That's so nice, thank you and I shall remember 'full of sunshine and promise' and remember to keep smiling!
