All week I've been in agony with a bad hip, pretty much immobile. Which wasn't ideal as I had to get up to hospital twice for chemo last week.
Increasingly I think it was damaged when I had my operation; I woke up with a cut and bruised inner lip, the canula was ripped out and a new one appeared in my other hand.....and my hip was agony.
Not entirely sure what they got up too.
Sunday, the sun was out and I was at last able to walk with two sticks.
We headed to 'The Walled garden' at Sunbury;
Over the summer, Spelthorne Council puts on a series of sunday afternoon concerts which alternate between The Lammas at Staines and The Walled Garden.
Here's the link;

Check it out for yourself - you need to take chairs or a
blanket. At The Lammas you can have an icecream, at The Walled Garden there's a café where you can buy cake.
On a sunny summer's day what could be better?
This was The Linden Wind orchestra, playing light orchestral music; the theme from Indiana Jones, Broadway hits, The Dambusters, that kind of thing.
What's not to like?
Some people came well prepared;
It's just charming and I marvel that the series of concerts has survived the spending cuts - I can only say you need to turn up otherwise you'll lose it.
And it's free!
