Unable to walk far, and yet I must walk – it’s essential exercise for recovering use of the knee. Half hour a day is recommended. Sunday 28th July 2024 dawns bright. I grab the camera and head to the churchyard (it’s not far away). Hope you enjoy these…

On entering all seems ordered and cool. But I’m hoping for butterflies so I venture into the wilder parts. The cemetery is also a nature reserve…

I have a thing about grasses, such overlooked flora… and bramble-flowers

The light is amazing

Blackberries almost hidden in the grasses, and restharrow, snuggling next to a wayward rose

I don’t know this tree’s story, but it fascinates me

Ox-eye daisies and sweet peas are everywhere in flower

And in the shade of the outer wall, bladder campion

And squirrels, always squirrels here…

That half hour walk extended into an hour and a half. But did I find butterflies? Check out Tuesday Treats (6th August), they’re all gathered there.
Hope you enjoyed.

Lovely pictures Crispina. Walking is good but I’d suggest a knee pad or guard. That will keep the knee stable 💙

I did invest in a knee brace that very same day. It has helped.

I’m working up to the former standard, and I’m exercising the legs and back to improve situation. There is a determination rattling me and driving me on

I’m sorry to hear that your knee is in such tough shape. That’s always the problem with any form of leg damage: how much exercise will help? how much will harm? and why does it have to hurt, either way?

I’ve managed an almost 4 mile outing, but along a seafront with loads of seats for frequent resting. I’m doing my best to go for regular but shorter walks. Camera is being well fed, of course

It’s still on the mend. I’m not up to 5 mile hikes yet but I am getting out and further afield
