I dread to think what mischief George could get up to with one of those 

Yes and best wishes for a speedy recovery from me as well.

When I saw the thread with just the title 'Bealman' I thought "Oh, God! What's he done now?".

Just try and stay upright and stop scaring the rest of us. I'm sure the Bealettes and the GrandBs don't want their inheritance just yet.

Get well soon!

Cheers,

Chris

Best wishes for a speedy recovery .

I gave up walking sticks many years ago, the best solution in my opinion is a rollator
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=rollator+walker+with+seat&ref=nb_sb_noss.
have 3, one narrow 3 wheeler for use in the flat it can get into the more confined spaces & has a a tray and basket to carry cups and other day to day items.
The other 2 are 4 wheelers used for trips away from the flat, one I keep by the patio door has my small gardening tools, trowel, secateurs etc, the other for trips away from the flat, all will fold to go in a car boot if needed.
The 4 wheelers have seats with a canvas bag under, handy for a snack and a bottle or flask, I also have a bag to hang on the back rest, handy for tools etc.
If I go to a folk festival or other "spectator attraction" I have hooks on the back of my camera bag which allows it to hang from the back rest, attachments to the frame to hold a tripod and/or brolly, and attachments to hold a camera that clamp on the handles

Speedy recovery George!

Mike

Get well soon!!

If I didn't know better I might think Anne decided she needed some peace and subtly moved the stick into George's path
But then again, I'm suspicious of other halves

I don't think its the flying that's his problem, more the landings...

Get well soon George, hope the WiFi in Aussie Hospitals is better than ours...
