Smithills Hall

Went to Bolton for an appointment with Alex my osteopath. I've been seeing him for over 10 years. My hip has been bad again and so he did work on it and it did feel better and didn't hurt when I walked around town afterwards. He suggested I bought ankle weights and used them regularly. I would have someone pull my leg - I forgot the physio told me to do this-- but as I live alone it's rather hard, hence the ankle weights and swinging my leg off the bottom stair!!!
A trip to Smithills Hall for a walk in the gardens with my camera. Then tea and a scone in the cafe. The scone was awful, dry and stale so I sent it back and had a toasted tea cake instead.
