Wild and wonderful spring

Tuesday is family dinner night. Family being my Dad, brother, sister-in-law, nephew and me. Ferdinand (my nephew) is the natural centre of attention. A fact he's completely unimpressed by.

7 years ago, my father had a very severe stroke that paralyzed one side of his body (apoplexia), which means he's in a wheel chair and needs help to move around. My brother and his family lives half an hours walk from my Dad.

Therefore, we have our Tuesday routine. I pick up my Dad and we walk together through a hospital and a park to my brother's place. It's a fabulous walk every time. We get to talk about this and that. What happened since last time, about politics (not least the hopelessness of most of the Danish politicians), about how nice it is to get around.

When you are walking the same route regularly, you really get to see the changes of the seasons. This spring has been absolutely incredible because of the late departure of winter.

A week ago, it was just absolutely amazing, when we walked around for half an hour there just taking spring in and reassuring each other of how wonderful it was. Wonderful!




Wonderful!
