On the road to fitness
The week after watching Burnley win at Wembley I was being wheeled into the operating theatre at Wrightington hospital to have my right hip joint replaced.
At about half past two the following Friday I was in my kitchen making a brew. My sights were firmly fixed on being able to climb back onto my bike. My thoughts were definitely when and not if!
For the next six days I was content to just potter round the house.
My first forray out was to post a letter. The next walk was round the Trafalgar.
Bored with that I managed to walk to St Bedes. Confidence soaring I walked to the "buttie shop". Not wanting to overdo it, that was my walk for the next several days, usually two-three times a day!

Last Session
Pam had written some thoughts about the idea of local heroes and Graham helped her to upload it to this blog, see previous entry: 'Scrapbook Heroes'.
Graham has really got the hang of uploading info to his own blog and this one too. I'm looking forward to reading his future updates on his adventures around the area.
Suzanne and Linzi were also present and Linzi demonstrated some natural creative talent using her pen and err... her hand.
I will continue to upload information regarding Nelson, past and present as time permits.
I hope that they do too.

The Old Pix
Here are the old pictures that Barry, Linzi and Suzanne brought in.
There are some from testing out the family tent at Hard Platts in Brierfield.
We're not sure where this one is.
Barry couldn't identify where this one is either.
Below are some shots of Marsden Park.
Another one from Hard Platts.

Old Pix
Tonight Graham and Pam practised updating the blog.
Suzanne, Linzi and Barry brought a small collection of family photos.
Some of the pictures were of New Zealand where relatives had settled many years ago.
There were some pictures of local sites like Marsden Park Open Air Pool and the surrounding area of Nelson.
Barry has kindly granted permission to upload a small selection onto this blog.

Here is Lynne sat on one of the lions at the entrance to the Trafalgar pub. It was taken by me (Graham), one summer evening when we all went to several locations in the area.

Bottling and blogging
This week I made some instruction sheets for accessing and updating the blog.
Pam and Graham tested them out and both created their own blogs.
You can visit Graham's blog and see his first ever entry by clicking here
Then we made some art in a bottle.
Pam printed some badges relating to the history of the Girl Scouts/Guides and on the back of the print she wrote some thoughts about the subject.
She then sealed the top with a silver cap.
Graham brought a photograph from when he'd been touring on his bicycle in Europe with friends. 
After some trimming, it was placed inside the bottle, along with some notes on the back and sealed with a silver cap.
Art in a bottle...
We decided to put another object inside a bottle and it was trickier than expected.
We all had a turn at pushing it through the neck of the bottle.
Attempt no.1
Attempt no. 2
Attempt no. 3
