Pheasant on the Drive

Updated: Apr 3, 2020

Didn't get a photo but we did have a pheasant on our drive on Saturday afternoon until he wandered off down the road !!! Archie let us know he was there by his extra loud barking and jumping up at the window !! I'm doing a late walk with Archie and meeting rabbits / frogs out on the streets .....not good for Archie's walking to heel training but nice for me.

Thank you all so much for your emails / texts letting me know how you are doing. I had hoped to reply to you all personally but I'm afraid there are too many and I'm trying very hard to keep a work / life balance in these changing times . So do keep sending them and law of averages says I will reply eventually as I try to reply to some !!

I spent a long time at the weekend making a Pilates Principles video which we hope to put onto the website soon (haven't dared look back at it yet).....I'm watching the weather men and news readers closely now as I just can't get used to watching the camera while I'm talking .....teaching Pilates is much easier !! We have shared the videos with friends and family so I thought it would help everyone to get the most from the exercises by reminding you all of the main principles of Pilates. I have shared it with the Whats App group we made in 2017 when I met up with my fellow Physio students from Newcastle Poly when we had our 30 year reunion!! I'm very touched to see that 2 of them are moving from their Private Practices back into the NHS....I greatly appreciate their commitment to caring for patients... a journey we all started together way back at coach lane campus. AS we move forward in this journey I'm sure this group will be a source of information / support as we learn from each other, something we as physios are very good at doing !!

Thanks again for all the communication.....whatever the method I really appreciate it.

Afternoon Anne. I have just completed class 6. Another excellent video! I love taking one of the classes each day and cannot thank you, Moya and Rachel enough for taking the time to produce them for us all. I know the payment block ended today. Just a thought Anne: will you let us know if you would like us to pay towards the video classes? I personally am doing a lot more than I would normally do in a week and would not be able to manage that without the video classes you have made available. x

Hey Anne you had a pheasant on the drive. We had a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig wandering round the village (Brancepeth ) Wasn’t Keen on captivity (like the rest of us!) and decided to flout the PMs orders and escape X 🐷🐷🐷😂

Thanks Anne, Moya and Rachel for these videos. It’s great that we can continue to do the exercises although not quite the same without the personal touch and reassurance we are doing the moves right. Yes would be great to have the instruction for stretches etc at the end. So pleased I can keep it up! Hope all my fellow class mates are staying safe and well Xx

Thank you Anne for all your hard work on our behalf. I have just completed your latest video class. Absolutely fantastic! You are so kind to be thinking of us at home when you are also working so hard within the NHS. x
