A lovely walk this morning

I chanced my arm.. or should that be the leg... this morning.  My friend and I walked the cornfields which is a round trip of more than seven miles. I have missed the walk and thoroughly enjoyed it this morning.  The doctor suggested I take a walking stick and avoid climbing stiles... so that is exactly what we did.  It put an extra fifteen minutes on the walk but I feel absolutely fine. The trouble seems to start when I sit down and then stand up.. The pain is excruciating. We avoided sitting on the 'pretty bench' this morning.  To be honest, it isn't pretty anymore now that the summer bedding plants have died.  The fields looked a bit bare too but are still lovely in their own way.
