This morning Michelle and I took a slow walk down to the beach, my ankle still isn't right but it was a bit easier than yesterday. It was a nice day but the wind was a little chilly.
Michelle was wearing Five Finger Shoes this stay. I had never heard of them but they are completely flat and have separate toes so that your feet spread and it is like walking barefoot. They are supposed to be good for feet, legs and posture. Seem like a good thing for me to try, as I have always liked going around barefoot. I will try and track down a less expensive pair to see if I can get on with them, my main worry is that I won't get my wide feet into a pair! One man came across and shook Michelle's had today and said 'Like the shoes'. They are pink so do attract a bit of attention.
We walked back through the park and there were Morris dancers so we stopped to enjoy the show for a bit.
Then there were some tap dancing ladies.
Then a group of colourful Morris dancing ladies.
We came back home and Michelle got packed. We decided to have lunch at the Coffee Beans before catching the bus into town The service there was a bit slow but the meal, fish pie and vegetables, was very tasty when it arrived. They have an interesting group meeting on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so I took a photo of the poster as I didn't have pen and paper with me.
Sounds like it might be worth a visit to see what it is like.
We caught the bus into town and made our way to the station. The train was on time and we had a drink and piece of cake at the station. I bought another ticket for an earlier train, don't know what I was thinking when I booked the one I had! Saw Michelle onto her train and then went over the bridge to catch one back to Scarborough a few minutes afterwards.
I walked home from the station and then unpacked my new Gtec cleaners and now have them on charge!
My ankle is pretty painful right now, but I have done a bit more walking today, so onward and upward with luck.
Casualty later, needed tissues for Holby, will they be required again tonight?
Those shoes are weird, but look very comfortable. Not sure I'd have the bottle to wear them in public though, and definitely wouldn't have such a bright colour :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a 'troup' of lady Morris dancers, only ever men. Thought it was just a male pastime.
Your meal at the Coffee Beans sounded nice. Don't think I'm allowed in there any more! The poster is interesting, worth a try I suppose.
Glad you had a nice couple of days with Michelle, shame you ankle is still giving you hassle though as it makes it hard to get out and about as much ad you'd like.
Just a guess, but I think you should have a crate of tissues at the ready tonight :-)
They do seem like a good idea as shoes go.
DeleteThe meal was good,but the service is not great there!
May give the lady a call and go along to a session.
Hi, just catching up on your blog, the shoes look terrific,where did she get them? How much?. Love to watch the Morris dancers, their dresses are so colourful. The relaxation class sounds worth a try, interesting. Our holiday was fantastic in every way, no complaints at all. Excellent value, you would love it there 5 days is not enough, will return at some point. My leg is terrible, will return to G.P.cant be just arthritis, I will ask for a second opinion. Having to use the stick and wheelchair.
ReplyDeleteHave spoken to you, really pleased you had a good holiday and hope you soon get some proper help to sort out the leg. Told you about the shoes too, certainly different aren't they? xxx
