A Slow Walk in the Park!

Visible to anyone in the world

The weather was a bit milder today. I decided to take the opportunity to get out and about, for some much needed exercise with my son, who has complex needs, including a heart condition.

He had not been out since we had all had covid 19 in December, so when I asked him if he wanted a little walk,  I was so pleased when he said that he would. I asked him if he wanted to use his stick but he said no, that  he would just lean on my arm instead.

We decided to go up to the large park,  which is thankfully much less waterlogged now than it was the other day. He put on his padded jacket to keep warm.
"Be careful I have not been outside since before Christmas" he warned me but he needn't have worried as I am completely slow myself now, especially after the covid!  

He leaned on my arm, as we walked carefully at a snails pace.

It was lovely to see that the woodland near the park was full of little white snowdrops and the new shoots of the daffodils and crocuses were coming up, because of all the mild weather we have had lately. The sun was shining albeit weakly and the weather felt a lot milder. It was good to get out for a walk at last.
