My back if very painful now. I struggle with the littlest of tasks but I have to keep walking. These days I rarely ride as I hurt too much afterwards – which I find very sad. However, walking is good for me and can make a difference to how I feel many hours later.
I ask the Boyzens if they want to come too.
I walk my usual route, along the road, but it is always nice to have company.
Today, we were doing quite well, nicely walking along together until Flossie came driving down the track and with that everyone “took to the hills”.
I kept going with BeAnne and Lambie decided to come along too. He ran as fast as he could to catch up.
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon walk.
And so we walked to Watness cattle-grid gate and back. My usual boring route that is what I can manage and enough of a distance to do some actual good to my back and how I feel afterwards.
BeAnne was on a lead when we were on the public road because there are sheep with lambs everywhere. Lambie does not need to be on a lead.
Once on our track BeAnne took herself home with her devoted follower (mother and son).
Lambie will always remember who was there for him when he was very little. He knows.
Anywho, on with admiring the scenery. It really was very spectacular.
I noticed that a kind someone had put ‘Bert and ‘Ster back into their field, which they are sharing with the Icelandic horse fatties.
One day I will go for a walk with all my Boyzens but it is always nice to have speshul Lambie, Muzzah and BeAnne time.
Somehow it is always less complicated.
What a lovely day for a walk with family. It has been very hot (95 f) and very humid in New England…could use a bit of clear sky. Love how Lambie and BeAnne still adore each other. Hope your back settles down soon.
(speaking from experience) Walks are so wonderful for aching backs – do whatever it takes to keep on doing them! I remember my physical therapist just telling me to “keep moving”…
