Hello, just wanted to say hello and sorry for the long break from using the forum, I have been having problems with my mental health and have been put on medication. I also had a fairly bad fall earlier in the year and had to have an injection in my upper thigh/hip 😕. I am doing a lot better than I was. How is everyone doing? 😀

    Hello@Lillymay88,

    I'm not on the forum often but pleased to see that despite your recent health issues you have been able to make contact after a while. It is encouraging to know that people are able to 'chat' to others, seek support or ask questions.

    Hope that you continue to do well and feel safe to stay in contact with the forum.

    Welcome back @lillymay88!

    Please don't apologise for taking a break, it sounds like you've been dealing with a lot but it's good to hear you are doing better now 😊

    Sorry to hear you have been having problems with your mental health, have you been able to access support for it?

    Ouch! That fall sounds nasty, have you recovered okay?

    Morning, thank you all for the kind words. I do counselling that has been really helpful and make sure I spend time in nature too. My hip is doing a lot better. It does give me pain from time to time; to help, I see an Osteopath 😊

    It's great to hear that counselling has been helpful for you and your hip is doing a lot better @lillymay88 😊

    Spending time in nature can be so lovely and freeing. Do you get the chance to enjoy it very often?

    Yes, I don't live too far from Richmond Park and Bushy Park (Both are Royal Parks in Surrey) 😊

    Welcome back @lillymay88! That sounds lovely. Do you get to see all the deer?

    I've never visited Richmond Park, but I've heard really good things. I'm in London and not too far away, so I really ought to make the trip one day! Think it would be gorgeous in Autumn with all the colours.

    @Rosie_Scope Thank you 😊. Yes, I see the deer pretty often. Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park is amazing in Autumn. You should definitely visit 🤗
