After retiring in 2009 I broke my leg and then my husband had an operation for a new ankle Therefore we have not been able to walk like we could, so treat ourselves to new cameras and joined the U3A digi camera club.
Since then we have become much more aware of what is around us and go out most days snapping.

Well into my Second year of Blipping, (got my first year book). Still enjoying the daily challenge and seeing all the kind comments that come my way.

A quarter of the way through year three, some days I find it a challenge  but always find something to take a picture of even if it is not too exciting. 
UPDATE
June 2020 Seven years completed.
We have now been retired for 11 years, hubby has had a few ups and downs with health and I have had a few more broken bones, but hopefully both now on a rebuild. We still have our little campa van which recently we have used mainly as a picnic van, but hopefully get more use from it in the future.
Our younger son who lives locally has been great with us especially during Lockdown, doing all our shopping etc.
Our Yorkshire son now has two little girls 7 & 3 who we  love dearly and  have missed seeing them during Lockdown, but hopefully be able to make up for that soon.
Over the last years, we have lost our own dog Rip, our son's dog Fonzie that we had living with us after they had the family and our other son lost his Beagle, but has replaced Cilla with a new Beagle Mitzi.
Well year 8 years of Blipping starts tomorrow, so we will see what that brings.
Thank you to all my virtual and real Blip friends who follow me, sorry I don't comment as much as I should, time seems to fly by.
Shouldn't be long now before we can start Blip meeting again.
Keep safe and well. 

TEN YEARS BLIPPED 30th June 2023
I am now after ten years going to only Blip, when I have something I feel worth using, as we don't go far these days, I know I am repeating my self with very local and garden pictures. I will be popping in and out to keep in touch with my lovely virtual and real Blip friends.
