Pauline is now making very good progress and enjoyed a few days visit from granddaughter, Emelia (10 years) and her mum, Cath. The week's weather has been quite good and we both enjoyed having them with us. The word is that they enjoyed it too!
On Tuesday I drove Pauline to her art club at Llaneilian WI and she took the steps in her stride with ease. before w set off she asked me to see her up these steps. It was not necessary! She is very much more confident using the steps in and out of the house. My input is now reducing, which is a pointer to the progress being made.
Yesterday we decided to visit Fron Goch Garden Centre on the other side of Caernarfon. They provide wheelchairs so this helped Pauline to see all parts of the establishment. The chair I chose was a self propelled version so Pauline could drive herself and I could deal with a trolley. However, when it came to one area which didn't have a hard surface she met a few problems. Having got into the chair she suddenly realised she did not know how to turn it. I explained how to hold one wheel whilst pushing on the other. It took quite a lot of practice and when she tried to navigate the vegetable shop she twice hit the counter. The assistant was very amused!
Today we went to buy some meat from the local butcher and then went for a drive across the island. At Holyhead we saw that a cruise ship was in port as were the ferries for Ireland. No visit to that area is ever complete without calling in at Trearddur Bay for an ice cream. Anglesey Ice Cream is always of a high standard, so I bought two 99s. They went down a treat! Afterwards we drove back home to Penysarn and enjoyed barbecued sausages on ciabatta rolls. Afterwards I returned to a long term task I have of weeding the drive. My neighbour commented, whilst I was doing this, that rain was forecast at 4.00pm. It was early! It started at 3.30pm!!
Tomorrow I have the task of preaching at my church in Amlwch and the sermon is on the love of God. It's always a good thing to preach on this subject because one is never short of material!
