Hello @Patches59 @Jynx 

Sorry to hear about your back but glad you could get some enjoyment from croquet photography and gardening.  Have you taken out the jasmines?

My back and sciatica are giving me twinges but they're better than after I came home from hospital. I'm trying to keep moving and take pharmacy meds when needed. I'll soon be allowed to do core strengthening exercises that might help  but I'll still be limited re weights etc and digging.

I hope the cameras work - photography would be a great interest. I had a 35mm SLR in the days of film.
