Lovely day at the Tees falls

On Sunday my wife, Daughter and I went up to High and Low Falls in the Teesdale valley.



Normally my wife goes to church on a Sunday morning, but as our daughter Claire was staying with us at our static caravan in Barnard Castle, she decided to stay with us so we could spend the morning going out for a drive in the car,

Usually when the river is high the falls come over at the right hand side of the rock formation as well making it look quite spectacular and fearsome

Not a good day

I was enjoying doing some gardening on a sunny day at my daughters, the sun was out and we all had a good laugh during the morning

I knew that I should have stopped early because I was feeling dizzy, but after a break I carried on going.

Eventually I knew I had done too much, but the number of times this happens these days are few and far between. I think I have gradually learnt to do things in moderation, but it's taken a long time, because I kept pushing myself too far, and then paid for it later on.

I went to sit down while lunch was being made, and the next thing I knew I was looking at the sky.

My daughter had put one chair to one side so that no one would sit on it, but I did not hear her say anything because I did not have my hearing aids in.

So it was my luck to sit on it

After a while I could not move and tad completely seized up.

We all learn by our mistakes we made.
