I had lunch with Gran Jan today. At the age of eighty-nine she doesn’t even need to use a walking stick; she’s amazing and looks much younger than her age. All the same I’m always a little concerned in case she falls when we are walking along the pavement, I would hate for her to hurt herself. However as we walked along to Bothwell Church to the café it was in fact I who tripped and fell, grazing both knees lightly and bruising my left elbow rather painfully. Despite my embarrassment the irony of the situation was not lost on me; I should have been watching my step since Gran Jan is clearly steadier on her feet than me! Once she was sure that I was (mostly) unhurt we continued to the church and had an extremely pleasant lunch, chatting about family and friends and life.
