Chiropodist for Donald this morning and after I made the bright suggestion of going to the Cameo for coffee. But when we got there it was shut. 'shall we just walk slowly right along beside the canal and just go home?' Okay. But Donald flagged badly. The best I could do was to get him to sit beside the bronze swans and I'd run and get coffees and a bite. So off I went to Loudens and returned with coffees and a huge scone which we divided. After a good rest it was time to pick our way back home. This was an arduous struggle for Donald but he enjoyed the surroundings.
