Walking buddy for gentleman in his late 50's

Enrych Berkshire

Very friendly, creative man who has made remarkable progress following a stroke.  He has worked hard on his recovery and is now walking with one stick.  He would like to build his confidence and stamina by practising walking outdoors, perhaps stopping for a coffee along the way.  He is very easy to chat with, enjoys company and would benefit greatly from having a friendly companion with him.  Lives Newbury
