A lot has happened since my last blog with rehabilitation going well at the local physiotherapists and other medical matters getting sorted. Really good news is that although I have been having some difficulties with my eyes the consultant is clear that I am able to see within the permitted distances for driving!
Andy, Joan and Ray did a return visit to us and were amazed at the changes at Highfield! A wonderful weekend which flew past but did give me a boost, helping to restore confidence that I could cope, along with my 24/7 carer! The Ribblesdale Area Moving Picture Show (TRAMPS) are a regular visitor to the village and showed "The King's Speech" on Friday so we went along. A film for adults because I suspect of one scene, which is brilliant but at least a 12 year old can view it and the DVD is available now, with no camera tricks, gore or CGI it is a simple story of the relationship between two men, one who just happens to be the King and Emperor and another with great experience of working alongside people who stammer! There are slip up's with history as you can expect from the escapist world of film making but these can be forgiven as the powerful performances of Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth leave measure of this! The parish hall where TRAMPS and the village volunteers have the film evenings was packed and everyone enjoyed the intervsl themed refreshement of cucumber sandwiches and coronation cakes! Shade of Mrs Bucket! Brilliant and over hundred folk there to enjoy the evening! So preparing for the next round of visitors when Austwick goes cuckoo!
