We hired this scooter for better mobility on our few days in Kent. So I thought I had better try it but found I felt a bit insecure on it. So today I reverted to my trekking poles.

Funnily enough, I have been walking better the last couple of days. It's 3 weeks since I started my Mediterranean diet. Hope there's a connection. Because that sausage roll looked very tempting in the National Trust café - but I did resist.

Thank you for all the interest in my fly agaric aka amanita muscaria yesterday and please excuse my lack of commenting for another day or two.
You look very relaxed!!

You look quite at ease on the chair, and what a beautiful setting you're in! Sounds like a lovely trip!

A nice laid back selfie Hazel! Fav

On reflection, I think I look as if I am about to fall asleep - or fall off!

Great shot of you Hazel and I like the scooter. I've thought of trying something like that so I could get back into places I can't maneuver now but haven't done anything about it.
October 17th, 2019  
That's a wonderful shot of you Hazel Fav

That's the way to go Hazel, we all reach our limitations and still want to be active. A great shot of you and your lovely surroundings.

Love those red boots - very feisty.
October 17th, 2019  
A nice shot of you Hazel.
October 17th, 2019  
@quietpurplehaze I was being polite!!!
October 17th, 2019  
Lovely shot Hazel, my mum never felt very secure on her scooter, but my zooms along on his!!

Awesome picture.

Lovely shot Hazel! Glad you were ok with your trekking poles!
October 17th, 2019  
These scooters are so helpful for getting about, no need to be trapped indoors! Strange you felt insecure although it does look quite narrow. You have to keep moving so trecking poles are good!

Whatever it takes to get a good photo shot.
October 17th, 2019  
Well I must say you look very relaxed and ready to burn some rubber Hazel possibly your next large purchase:)

A wonderful photo of you, Hazel and a very nice background.
October 17th, 2019  
Just keep doing what you can Hazel :) This looks a good options if needed but i hope the diet also helps!
October 17th, 2019  
Great capture of you, Hazel
October 17th, 2019  
you need a purple scooter haze, Quite stylsih really :)
October 17th, 2019  
Great selfie with the interesting background.I think that's what I am needing Hazel it would save the pain in walking everywhere.
October 18th, 2019  
A great photo of you - and rather like the idea
October 18th, 2019  
The red shoes are rather snappy! Glad that you are staying strong - sausage can be very very tempting.
October 18th, 2019  
Nice selfie although I do have to agree that you don't look very secure on the scooter. Hope it is more stable than it looks. If it helps to keep you mobile though I am sure it is worth it.
October 18th, 2019  
Lovely selfie, Hazel! And fascinating background.
October 18th, 2019  
Great selfie. You look very relaxed. Have you tried riding a tricycle? This is a very convenient solution when the legs are weak but still functional.

Last Sunday we were on a heath where they were rented out. I have some doubts but my pride won. On the way back I regretted it. Great nice selfie.

@haskar

That would look nicely eccentric I think!

@pyrrhula

Worth a try another time, maybe!
October 19th, 2019  
@quietpurplehaze A small step to take, a big step to exceed.

You look comfortable with it Haze. It's probably better to get about without it whenever you can. Good that you have been walking better recently. Keep the muscles active! Yesterday I had my monthly acupuncture session which forces me to rest and in a couple of days I'll be raring to go!

David, I have decided I don't like this photo! We hired the scooter for our few days away and I only used it one day as I felt rather vulnerable on it. Good news: 3 weeks in to my Mediterranean diet, I lost the pains in my legs at night and that is still continuing. It makes so much difference getting sleep even though walking is still a problem. Waiting for my meditation book to arrive. Bon courage!
October 24th, 2019  
Hazel I need one of those. Hope you are feeling better.

@sdutoit

Sylvia thank you, appreciated. I am getting better sleep which is very important, as I am sure you know but my walking is still not good - hoping for better things!
