Wednesday 08 July It’s been a soggy old day today. It’s like laying under a damp blanket. One of those days when I don’t feel I have fully dried from the shower I had this morning. But, I also had a Cadburys Crunchie today; first time in ages and it was fantastic. So, not allContinue reading “Day 110”

Day 109
Tuesday 07 July I feel a little guilty. Since Mabel (dog) has come on the scene, Wells and Walsingham (cats, brother and sister) have been moved slightly to the rear of the family stage. Now the cats, especially at this time of the year, bring us ‘gifts of nature’. I think it’s because they areContinue reading “Day 109”
Day 108
Monday 06 July Well, I have felt pretty rubbish all day. A tterrible night’s sleep included waking at around 1.30am, curled up in the foetal position, with the most intense shakes. I tried to walk but found it almost impossible to put one foot in front of the other as my muscles spasmed. I eventuallyContinue reading “Day 108”
Day 107
Sunday 05 July I love this part of the world. It’s a home from home and a place that never stops giving. As a family we have been visiting at least once a year (but usually more) since the kids were in nappies. So, this was a leg I was really looking forward to. WeContinue reading “Day 107”
Day 106
Saturday 04 July It’s been almost autumnal today. If it wasn’t for the 19°c temperature, the wind and drizzle-ready grey skies created a backdrop more like November. Me and Stan have been chatting about evolution during our walks. I confess that I have not read up enough of the science behind this. I tend toContinue reading “Day 106”
Day 105
Friday 03 July I’ve actually got so much to write about at the moment that I am creating drafts for the next few days. A lovely off-shoot about writing this blog, is when you ‘bump’ into someone that has read a day or two and it provides an opportunity to ‘talk nature’. You start talkingContinue reading “Day 105”
Day 104
Thursday 02 July I would start these mid-week posts with a certain dread thinking that I wouldn’t have enough to talk about. Get up, go to work, come home, go for a walk, go to bed. But I have to remind myself that this is a blog for me. During the week it’s usually onlyContinue reading “Day 104”
Day 103
Wednesday 01 July Today was the first day that I found myself getting frustrated behind the steering wheel of my car. Driving to and from work is still not as busy as before the lockdown but it’s getting there. I don’t know what I am most frustrated with; the aggressive driving of others, the factContinue reading “Day 103”
Day 102
Tuesday 30 June It’s Adora’s 16th birthday today and although me and Lisa have been at work, she has had a lovely day. She wanted a dress-maker’s dummy and was made up with the one we got her along with a basket of vintage threads. More presents this evening followed by take away Turkish foodContinue reading “Day 102”
Day 101
Monday 29 June Another Monday started nursing blisters from the walk the day before. I bought these new, leather walking boots as a birthday treat but they have been a nightmare. I’ve tried two different pairs of insoles but both have led to some pain one way or another. Next week, I am going toContinue reading “Day 101”
