But before the celebration tea I have been to see my Doctor who sent me for an X-ray.

I am thinking of sending Beattie the bill for the above. When she trod on my foot six weeks ago she gave me a good old crush fracture of my little toe and it has not healed properly.  There is a bony protrusion which is why I wince when I put on shoes.  So I will have to live the rest of my life in wellie boots.  Some people say that country life is healthy but it has its risks, doesn’t it Beattie?
