I can walk!

Last weekend was the first Wimborne Minster Folk Festival under new management. It was also my first festival since my knee op. It was also the first warm sunny weekend of the year. I hope that wasn't Summer been and gone.

Last year I barely coped attending, staying mostly in one venue.
This year I was all over the town like a rash. LOL


Even the Town Mayor had a go

I walked round to various venues for 2 hours Saturday morning, guiding my blind friend Linda around. Her first time at the festival and she loved it.
I came back later for concerts - just brilliant !
Sunday I did a repeat walkabout to different places! I even managed it upstairs to the folk club in the Olive Branch. Coming down was a trifle more tricky but I made it.
More concerts, ending with an amazing final concert Sunday evening.

Well done to the new organising committee.
I enjoyed tasty take aways over the weekend and dinner out Monday night yet still managed 1/2 lb off at Slimming World today. Maybe all that walking helped?
I forgot to say I also took Linda clothes shopping at Castle Point Friday morning. Two hours in M&S looking for tops for Linda then trying them on *sigh*. She bought one.
I do enjoy taking Linda out but it is tiring sometimes.
6 months ago I'd never have managed a trip like that.
My knee has  given me a new lease of life YAYYY
I am really looking forward to more festivals in coming weeks now I am mobile.
