Bluebelle, all my sympathy, I did something similar about 18 months ago.It was agony for months.

Thanks for flowers .... this was on council property but I guess it's just one of those things, they can't really be sweeping it, only by hand as it's a sloping path through a park I don't think I could have been more careful I was walking quite slowly as I had ten minutes time to spare but thats life I m glad I m in one piece for sure

I've been a bit concerned about this recently. Our village pavements haven't been swept at all last autumn/spring season. In some places under big trees the leaves are thick and would be slippery if there was any rain! There was a time when councils were worried about being sued but in the time of budget cuts that goes by the board.

You were lucky to get away with it! Take care!

Nasty! A good job you did not get really hurt.
Mud can be difficult to get out of clothes.

Oh poor you! Hope you have no further effects. Shame you had to miss the film show too.

Just going to a film show about hometown, walking slowly down a wet slope admiring the bluebells on either side when suddenly I m flying through the air and land flat on my back in a damp puddle of wet leaves
I m fine apart from one numb finger and a slightly sore bum but had to miss the show as covered in black mud all down my coat, jeggins, pumps so a 2 mile walk home and now a nice cup of coffee
I obviously wasn't meant to go
