James and I have been experimenting with different routes to visit Grandma in her nursing home in order to find the most direct and pleasant walk. We have honed it down to 30 minutes by using a couple of leafy lanes to cut a corner, and it is becoming part of our daily routine. As we had planned we have made her room more homely with a selection of her pictures and photos, a plant for her window sill and a vase of flowers. We also took round plenty of clothes and filled her en suite bathroom with her favourite toiletries So far Grandma is settling in well and particularly enjoys the excellent food and baking. However she has been suffering from a chest infection so she’s on antibiotics and also is getting some of her medication adjusted. This has resulted in her being very sleepy so we are still very concerned about her. Hopefully her health will improve.
The weather has been fine and sunny so far this week so we have been our enjoying the autumn colours. On Monday we had a splendid walk up Lowther Hill in the Borders, from where we could see Wanlockhead nestling in the hills below us. Later we rewarded ourselves with a very nice cake and coffee at the wee Mining museum. And then on Tuesday we went over to Pollok Park for a stroll through the fast falling leaves and through the vegetable gardens to the river. And naturally another tasty coffee break ensued.
