An Outing to Gretna for Ann

[cessna152towser]

Ann's first outing since before the snows arrived four weeks ago, and I had the use of a wheelchair accessible vehicle for the day. Here awaiting loading up outside Stirches House. Ann's room is the lowest window on the left.

As I am not yet fully recovered from my DVT and had found the previous outing much too strenuous, I hired my part-time domestic, Diane, for an extra day to come along and help. Only forty miles from Hawick, on the Solway coast at Gretna, the snow does not lie on the ground as long as it does further inland and there was only a shallow deposit from earlier in the morning.

The group shot with John and Yvonne at the shopping mall.

Snow presents a slipping hazard, it needs to be fenced off on health and safety grounds
That's all folks.

Brrr! Nice pics, though, Alex. It's always good to see you out and about with Ann. It's nice to get the use of the vehicle. Of course I have to ask what tartan Ann's blanket is.

It is always nice to get out after a while. It looks as though you had a wonderful time.

Great seeing you and Ann out and about. Good on ya!

Great seeing her out and about with you. Looks like she enjoyed it, too.

Best to both of you.

Nice photos, as usual Alex. It's great to see Ann out and about.



A few well made snowballs would help eliminate that slipping hazard (not to mention the increase in the smile factor.)

Thank you for the nice photos, Alex.


Best,

I could live with that tiny amount of snow!

Looks like Ann was enjoying herself with that tartan rug too!

I am glad you were able to enjoy an outing with your wife... and protecting the endangered snow put a smile on my face...lol

I hope you are feeling better, and you quickly heal from your clot..

Great photos Alex, there seems to be some white stuff on the rim of those tires...
