Saunter on a Saturday

 Our world has dramatically shrunk to twice weekly visits to the hospital. We had what felt like a major setback this week, but we did know beforehand that it was always going to be a possible result of the surgery. Thankfully we've always been decent lateral thinkers and good at coming up with practical solutions using what we've already got in to meet unexpected challenges. By the next day we had dusted ourselves off and had worked out that we could enjoy an hour of birdwatching whilst sat in the comfort of the visitor centre at our nearby nature reserve. It was so relaxing and we even stopped for a cuppa in the cafe. Spying on the antics of a grebe, grey wagtails and the egrets was magical and we have now invested in an annual membership.  Going forwards it's within walking distance of home and Mr GBT is a keen photographer so we'll cover our outlay in no time once he's fully up and running.

With the level of caring I'm doing at the moment it's very important that I keep myself well so that I can do my best and remain vigilant about my anxiety. I realised a few years ago that walking and taking photos of beautiful or interesting things is a very important tool in my armoury. On some days when Mr GBT is resting and my energy levels are high enough I go for a saunter. I've been out in the sunshine today enjoying all the new Spring flowers and admiring that Aston Martin!!

If I get the opportunity I'll turn back the time machine this week and write up my post about my wee Pre-Raphaelite adventure I had at the beginning of March
