A trip to the Hills

Spent a few hours at Green Valley Strawberries and Nairne. Both coughing well but the sun drew us out for some fresh air



First of the season Strawberries available in the Hay Valley and we enjoyed delicious cakes with our customery #coffeeoclock

Definately needed a nap after all that.

I firmly believe that OA need not end in surgery and that there are many things I can do to alleviate pain without taking medication, exercise will help not hinder progress and that this condition will not get progressively worse.
