Things Are Improving

There's been a noticeable improvement in the condition of my knees recently, I no longer need to wear my heavy duty brace on my right knee any more...I still put it in my rucksack when I go to the shops though, or go out with my support worker. I had hoped to visit Bakewell this week or next week, just to have a look round the town; something I've not done for several years...I tend to just use it as a base for starting or finishing walks, or changing buses. I've had to stay in Doncaster though because of commitments, a broken boiler and workmen coming to insulate my kitchen roof.

Beningbrough Hall

I was able to download and print out a voucher valid for free admission for two adults to many National Trust properties and chose to book a day out with my support worker and go to Beningbrough Hall, a few miles northwest of York.

We stopped for breakfast at Crown Garden Centre, just north of Askern yet over the county boundary in North Yorkshire.

The interior of the hall was disappointing, it's in the process of being renovated and a lot of the contents have been temporarily removed - the gardens weren't looking their best either.
