reply to comment from Bobbie. Thanks for your encouraging words. I
tried to reply on the blog page but it doesn't seem to work for me to
comment after someone else's comment. Found the same in the past. I
like what you say about bad conscience as I raised the matter then
and now have a fourth 'trusting' acquaintance to have a concern over.
Thanks again.
I
could always reply direct if you, and anyone else of course, would
like to contact me at -me_blindfolded@yahoo.co.uk-

may remember that I was (bravely!) trying out some solo birdwatching
trips last summer in
the
absence of Tony (lost? In Australia!). After a few such trips, I was
proud that I could go blind at a quarter of mile before reaching my
starting bus-stop and then blind for a few hours eventually arriving
at Eastbourne pier before seeing the light of day again. See my blog,
2nd September last year (2015) – quite a long one!
The
'slight hiatus' that I referred to last time occurred on the
different trip that I had been taking from time to time, getting off
near the reservoir for some 'bird watching' after walking up there
from the bus stop. (again see my previous blogs) As I asked the bus
driver to drop me at the then usual place, he said that particular
road was closed for some reason and the bus would be making a
detour and wouldn't go past that place from where I had been getting
off and walking up to the reservoir. I had to think quickly! I
decided to go to the previous stop which was in the village and wait
for a returning bus, missing out on my nice blind walk up to the
reservoir for that day. That I did and managed to find the returning
bus stop there and return home as usual from there. I'm not afraid to
ask passers-by for help – always cheerfully supplied. Again, I was
proud to remain blind the whole time from start to finish.
More next time, Jane
