Had a lovely day today at Royal Victoria Country Park, Hamble near Southampton. Seven of the family got together and drove down. Jenny my eldest niece has just passed her driving test,
and has turned out to be a very good driver. Direction and guidance came from her husband Paul in the back seat!!!!The park looks out on to the Solent. There were a lot of yachts, ships etc on the Solent today. Cowes week starts today. We had great entertainment watching two windsurfers trying to
stay upright.I took off for a while to do a walk. Leg is getting better but just a bit sensitive. I managed a 2 1/2 mile walk around the park grounds which are gorgeous.
Get
ting to grips with the Ball (literally). I position myself between the two sofas with several cushions surrounding for safety's sake!! Really want to crack this balance exercise. I read that after 40 balance naturally deteriorates so it's time to catch some quick!!! Tried to remember the exercises we do in the gym. The Ball is quite good just to sit on watching tv cos you are always trying to keep balance unless you lose concentration then you come into close contact with a sofa!!
