Bus trip to Beverley!

Big step forward today, decided to have a bus trip as there were a couple of shops I wanted to visit in person. Beverley seemed a good place to start getting out as the journey isn’t quite so long and Beverley is a lovely place to wander round. Let’s start with a picture inside the bus!
It was a bit cooler today but I really enjoyed my trip out and went in lots of shops and the antique centre. Had a lovely take away lunch of a sausage sandwich and a latte costing me the princely sum of £3.50!  Took a picture of a tile in one of the side streets, they are dotted about the place if you look!
I made my way back towards the bus station, got a take away drink and piece of cake and took them to the lovely remembrance garden by St Mary’s church. Took a few pictures there, it is a really peaceful spot.




On the bus on the way to Beverley I thought how lovely the fields of rapeseed looked in the sun, although I am aware the smell is awful for people with chest problems. I couldn’t get a good angle for a picture but did manage to on the way home.
When I was at the antique centre I managed to get another spider in the same cabinet I have bought from before, it is a brass ornament and was £5! Also got a little elephant brooch to send to a friend.
I gave the spider a bit of a clean, but it could do with some more attention.
I went into the greenhouse and moved all the plants from there into the walled garden. They need to harden off so I can get them into the garden and they were getting scorched in the greenhouse as well as leggy.
Then it was time to go down the road to see the medical practitioner that helps Tina with her back pain. She went through my medical history and then did some pretty heavy duty work on the muscle in my left leg. She advised me about a free nhs app called Escape Pain especially for people with arthritis. I have signed up for that and she also recommended a massage ball, I have ordered one to arrive tomorrow. She was very good and I will see her again in a month.
All in all a good day.

  1. So nice to be able to get out for a little trip. Makes you feel slightly more like normal again. It can only get better, can’t it? You picked a lovely day to go. Maybe slightly colder today but even so still better than sitting about the house. Also perfect for taking lots of pictures. You have some really nice ones today. The picture of the tile, is it a flower or plant called madder or does it mean something else? Or like me are you not sure?😊 sounds like your lunch was extremely nice, and your dessert sounded good too. And what a lovely place to sit and eat it.
    I think the spider looks great. Quite big too. It will probably scare the cats half to death! The little elephant is quite cute too, I think she’ll really like that.
    You really have done quite a few things today. Hopefully we won’t get any more frost so the plants you’ve moved should be okay. Mind you the way things have been lately there’s no telling what sort of weather we’ll have.
    Seeing the pain lady was a good way to finish the day. If she can do anything to decrease any pain you’re having then that’s really good. I know you’ll keep up with any exercises from the NHS app, so fingers crossed you get something from it all.
    Definitely a good day. So when is the next trip out?

    1. Yes, a good day and feeling positive about trying to get some improvement with the knees.
      It was lovely in Beverley and I will enjoy taking some more trips out.
      Looked up the plant and sent you a link.
