At long last.......

At long last I have got an appointment at the eye Clinic at a Hospital right the other side of Cheshire. I have been waiting nearly 7 weeks, but it is wonderful what a pleading phone call will do! Its horribly early, which means an even earlier start for husband and self, but I am not allowed to drive myself, as I will nead those horrible drops which make your pupils enlarge so you can't see anything for a couple of hours afterwards! Still, once that is done, I will haopefully see the Consultant again and maybe know whether someone can be done, or wheher I must resign myself to squiffy vision!





Anyway, enough of that. The Park authorities have taken it upon themselves to put lovely new benches in at various places. Which is rather nice, but they seem to have forgotten the one above. Its well used, but stands, rather forlorn, with its twin along the path a bit. The paint is peeling, and its been well grafittied, but its definitely the shabby cousin now. Even so, I rather like it like that! It blends in well, which is more than the new ones do, and I've spent many happy minutes sitting there getting up my strength for the hilly bit!

Gilly, that is wonderful you finally got your appointment...just want you to know I will get back to you soon regarding our exchange. My heart is feeling close to you tonight. You are loved my sweet friend and I feel blessed in knowing you, even if only by written word and pictures. God is bigger than the obstacles that stand between us and he is in our midst.

Best wishes that all goes well with the appointment.

Do the new benches look as comfortable as the old ones, only more lovely?

In the meantime, you might want to eat more berries - like bilberries and blueberries. Might help. Our prayers go with you.
