A Surprise Day Out

It was my birthday in August and after a FaceTime call from the Hopper Juniors and minis, Roger took me out on a mystery trip.  All I was told was that I needed to take my walking shoes with me.

Roger drove us to a small place called Shardlow in Derbyshire.


We walked along the Trent and Mersey Canal towards the river Trent.





A bit autumnal for the middle of August!

Roger walking in true Hopper style.  Naomi tells me Andy does the same!

And then we walked back. Roger said it was a 5 mile walk.  Strava said it was over 8 miles.

I relaxed for the rest of the week!  It took 5 days before I could walk without pain!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post either here or on Facebook.  I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Thanks for joining me today

  2. I guess you can say your birthday left a lasting impression - LOL. Sure made me smile when I read to the end and say that comment. I LOVE the picture of the wiggling water reflection of the graffiti under the bridge. Your pictures always capture the textures I love to see. Happy Birthday.
