He decided to hide in a bush, and watched me for at least half an hour. I was just about to let out an hysterical scream, and call the police, when he 'ta-da'd' his whereabouts.

So many places are quick to replace old buildings with modern ones without regard to historical significance or the character of the neighbourhood. I am sorry that you have been so busy with medical appointments.

It's the oldest complete residential street in Europe, and dates from the 14th Century. It's beautiful, I think you'd love it, if you haven't seen it already. I'm counting down the time to the school holidays as well. I do hope that the steriods do their job and that you have a good summer.

It really is beautiful, and well worth the effort. It makes my heart sing when I see a garden like that. I'm glad you had such a lovely time there. The blue blanket is gorgeous, it looks so puffy and soft, my immediate thought when I saw it was, "I must make one of those"! Wonderful. I'm so sorry you're having a rough time of it again.

But as you say, you do have to look out for other people. I am always stopping people from barging into me and knocking their ankles on the foot rests. It amuses me that they invariably apologise when I warn them; I always say; "No, don't apologise, I didn't want you to hurt yourself." Of course there was the "lady" who barged in front of me when I was looking at something, when my pusher arrived and I said;"Let's go!" he ran over her foot! Oh the joys of not being in control! lolAttilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232290891112002879.post-48636893044557868802015-07-02T08:47:21.722-07:002015-07-02T08:47:21.722-07:00It looks like a really fun trip, Janine!

I loved reading about the ways you scrimped and saved money because I try to do all the same things on a vacation and sometimes I wonder if I'm being TOO "frugal" so it's nice to see that I'm not alone. I really felt like I was reading about my own vacation last month. :) I'm glad it wasn't too difficult for you to enjoy the sights and attractions in your wheelchair, that's very important. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Your tips about getting around are very useful, especially for doing it with a family on a budget.
