Sunday 28 June Another big walk today, and on day one-hundred! Again driving up to north Norfolk. This time to Hunstanton on a breezy, changeable day to start the North Norfolk Path. First leg, around 20km from Hunstanton to Burnham Deepdale. We parked the cars at the destination and got the coastal hopper bus toContinue reading “Day 100”

Day 99
Saturday 27 June It is blowing hard outside, more like Autumn than mid-Summer. Really different to the past few weeks and a welcome break in my opinion. I’m lying, feet up on the leather sofa, finishing my book. Just read a wonderful passage that has resonated with me. It made me sad. That surge ofContinue reading “Day 99”
Day 98
Friday 26 June What a very different morning? Cool, overcast but equally as pleasing as the bright, warm mornings of late. The distant backdrop sound is a shallow rumble of an electrically charged sky. I heard the rain through the open bedroom window before droplets started to spot it. A subtle sound like someone rubbingContinue reading “Day 98”
Day 97
Thursday 25 June So, a few things this evening. First of all, the first beer when you get back home? Perfect. The second? Disappointing. Next, got into the car this evening and this little chap fell on to my seat belt through the window. The vine in our back garden is getting some proper attentionContinue reading “Day 97”
Day 96
Wednesday 24 June Today has been the hottest day of the year so far. 28°c in the car this evening when we took Mabel down to Mistley for a walk along The Walls. After I arrived home, I made straight for a cold beer and headed to the bottom of the garden. A moment ofContinue reading “Day 96”
Day 95
Tuesday 23 June “Stop looking at other people’s trees, Dad.” Adora can be very direct and I love her straight, no-nonsense approach. Out on our dog walk this evening, she had clearly had enough of me staring up at the tops of trees. Especially one’s that are in our neighbours’ gardens. The reason for thisContinue reading “Day 95”
Day 94
Monday 22 June I am so rubbish at starting the week. Monday mornings are an enigma to me. When I look back on any week, I can never recall anything that occurred on any Monday morning. I try not to book anything too important for Monday mornings (other than to get-up) as I am fairlyContinue reading “Day 94”
Day 93
Sunday 21 June 8.15am. No walking today as its Father’s Day. When our children were younger, I was always a little perplexed that, on Mother’s day, I had the kids to give Lisa a break. Then, on Father’s day, my treat was to have the kids. Saying that, our kids are, and always have been,Continue reading “Day 93”
Day 92
Saturday 20 June I love Saturday. Who doesnt? Is it the best day of the week? I would imagine that if a poll was done in the UK for the best day of the week I reckon Saturday would win comfortably. Today started, like most of our Saturdays, slow, with coffee and sunshine. Adora madeContinue reading “Day 92”
Day 91
Friday 19 June It is encouraging to read that the government are expecting all children to return to school in September. At the moment only Years R, 1, 6, 10 and 12 can attend and not all of them are choosing to. The schools operate very differently and, especially for the younger children, the warmthContinue reading “Day 91”
