Wednesday 31st October-Christchurch

A beautiful sunny day.Clear blue skies and not so cold.
Beatrice and I went into Poole vis Bournemouth on the yellow bus. 2 pounds each for all day travel was a good deal.
Jumped off at Bournemouth so we could have a walk around the town. Enjoyed a good cup off coffee and mailed our letters.
Caught the bus for Poole sitting on the top deck in the front seats so we had a great view during the trip.
Walked through the mall area in Poole down to the quay. We were amazed that we had never seen this area as we had always driven straight to the quay on our previous visits and didn't realise we had missed so much of the old and new town.
Settled on a good bowl of soup and crusty bread for lunch before walking around and catching the bus to go back to Christchurch.
Arrived home just before dark to find Mum feeling very sorry for herself as during the afternoon she had tripped over the balcony step and had fallen heavily on her bad hip, cutting and bruising her face in the process. She told us she had been asleep in her chair when the door bell woke her up causing her to jump up half asleep and tripping over the step. She was able to get to the door and was helped by her visitor who gave her a cup of tea and comforted her.
Needless to say we will not be leaving Mum alone again.
