I've been with mum all day today as dad has not been doing anything that I can help with at the moment. It was okay though as I like to help mum as well. It all started at breakfast when I was telling Eric how I used to get sent out to help Ivan in the gardens when I was in Scotland. Mum over heard and suggested that she and I spend the morning tidying the garden here. She likes to garden but her back is no longer up to the heavy work or a lot of bending. So I told her that I didn't mind, as I do like working in the garden if the weather is nice and there are no midge's. Thankfully they shouldn't be a problem around here. So after we cleared the breakfast things away we went out in to the garden and had a couple of hours clearing all the dead stuff from the borders, I also pruned some roses under mum's watchful eye. Because of her back I did all the bending down work and she did the standing up work so now we both have sore backs!
After dinner mum decided we need a treat for all the hard work we did in the morning so she took us to Harrogate which is not far away. We had a nice walk round the shops and then before leaving for home we went and found a nice place to have tea and cake - the doctor did insist I eat properly from now on! How much more proper can you get than eating cake and drinking tea in a nice tearooms?
