Hi all
We had our eldest granddaughter overnight last night as her sister had her 6 monthly appointment at Bristol Children's hospital. I took the eldest to school this morning and then walked into the city centre and saw a friend for coffee.
When I collected our granddaughter from school we walked through the local park, the colours of the trees were beautiful.
I managed to walk 29,596 steps today.
Hope you like the photos.
Stay safe and well.

It's great when grandparents can step in and see to things like this when appointments mean going out of town. You might see that flower turn up in one of my paintings, the photo's are lovely. 😊🌸
Isn't it great when we can step in. I'm looking forward to seeing the flower, it was a treat to see colourful flowers this time of year. The Autumn colours are great this year.🌈😊🍂🍁🍁🌹🌷
They're lovely cf, thanks. Hope your youngest gd got on OK at the Children's Hospital. xx
Tjank you. Yes I'm pleased to say her JIA (Juvenile idiopathic Arthritis) is still on remission. xx
Hello Alicia
You have had a very productive day, the trees, are coming out in Autumn colour and it is always a pretty time of the year. I have severe pain problems at this time of year as the barometer begins to fall so I on some days just have to look out of the window to see all the bright colours. We can watch the Geese flying over to the west coast and I know it is nature that is telling me winter is on its way' I will therefore enjoy the weeks of Autumn

Hi Bob
Yes thank you I did and it was so lovely to catch up with a friend and also being able to drop my granddaughter off and pick her up from school and then take her to the park.
The trees seem to be especially colourful this year, more than normal.
I'm so sorry you have severe pain and I know the cold does affect those with Arthritis and the like. It's lovely seeing the Geese fly over, they do make quite a racket.

Hi
The photos are lovely and I'm do pleased you had a great day with your granddaughter. It must be a relief that your granddaughter is still in remission. I think you said she is the feisty one😂
Night night sweet dreams
All my love Lynne xxxx ❤️🌈💜
Hi Lynne
Thank you and the Autumn colours seem to be particularly spectacular this year. We are so so pleased she's still in remission and yes, you've got it right, she is the feisty one.🤣🤣
Take care and stay safe.
Alicia xxxx💜💜🌈
A lovely day indeed Alicia and your park walk sounds and looks delightful. There seems to still be lots of green in the trees still there, unlike here where autumn is in full swing. 😊
It really was once the rain had cleared. The park does look particularly pretty at the moment. Yes there is still a fair bit of green on the trees. 😊
These photos are really beautiful, and i'm glad that you had a lovely time with your granddaughter. Grandchildren are so precious. I enjoy every moment with mine as they grow up so quickly! 🙂
Thank you and the park is looking lovely at the moment. Yes grandchildren are definitely to be treasured as they do grow up so fast. I'm glad also have grandchildren to enjoy.

Beautiful.. Keep shooting the shots (not the booze ones) 😁
Thank you Diana. Oh I sure will, not so sure about the booze shots though, don't think I'd be able to stand up if I drank LOL🤣🙏
How many steps ????? How I wish I could do that many 😅
Lovely photos —- the colours are beautiful at the moment.
I hope your granddaughter’s check up went well. My daughter’s best friend’s little girl had heart surgery in Bristol a couple of weeks ago. Thank God for modern surgery!
I am very fortunate that I am able to walk and I will keep going for as long as I can and hopefully that'll be forever.
Thank you and the colours are particularly good at the moment.
It went very well thank you and she's still in remission which is good. Oh my goodness, heart surgery on a little one. I agree though thank goodness we have modern surgery.
Alicia 😊🌈🙏
So good to hear your granddaughter is in remission. My friend’s son was treated for acute myeloid leukaemia in Bristol in the early 90s and he is now a strong and healthy adult. Treatments have come a long way thanks to research. I wish her, and you, all the best for the future.
Thank you and we are very pleased. Oh my goodness, that's such good news, Bristol is such a good Children's Hospital. Treatments certainly have come a long way and constantly getting better.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Photos are lovely. Glad you got to spend some time with your granddaughter. Very envious.
Thank you Sheila, it was a lovely having our granddaughter.
Thank you Sheila, I'm so fortunate they don't live very far from us.🙏😊😊
Good morning what lovely photos looks like a lovely park I'll tell my friend to check it out as her husband's working there in a couple weeks she said she might go for a break there glad you had a nice day 🌄🌈🤗
Thank you and it really is a lovely park, it also has a cafe there so ideal for a break. It really is very pretty with the colours.😊🙏🌈
Looking after grandchildren is so lovely, they are good girls when we look after them. We are so pleased about the youngest one to get the all clear again, the drugs are working their magic. Oh I love my walking and if I can do without the car I certainly will.
Thank you and it's been particularly colourful this year.
Enjoy the rest of your day Jerry.
Alicia 🌈🙏😊
That sounds a lovely day .
I have a scrap book new each year to post favourite memories in like yours.
Time passed so quickly and memories can dim,so having a memory book of silly things /special moments that happened is lovely.
Thank you for sharing both your day and the gorgeous photos -well done on the steps walked!
It really was thank you.
Oh what a fabulous idea, so lovely to look through a book with lots of memories.
You are right, time passes incredibly quickly and this year I have found more so.
You are welcome and I'm glad you liked the post.
Have a good evening.
