Friday 05 February I’m starting today’s post from the evening. Yes, it was a good day, much achieved and a really good buzz, but the end of the day came with a desire to leave while it was still light. It has been mild today, dry and bright. The birds have been out in force,Continue reading “Day 322”

Day 284
Tuesday 29 December We’ve been really lucky. All of the walks we have down in and around our locality (not straying too far due to Covid restrictions) have been really good. Interesting things to see, close up and from distance, broad vistas of land and a thousand acres of sky. But today I held myContinue reading “Day 284”
Day 190
Saturday 26 September Autumn and winter are the seasons of hibernation. Nature winds down to sleep out the cold and dark times. My blog is going to do something similar. I have decided that I will do a weekly entry covering a full seven days on each one, unless something dramatic occurs of course. 2pmContinue reading “Day 190”
Day 178
Monday 14 September I have found writing a post on a Monday a bit tricky of late. The first day of a new working week tends to be taken up with, well, work. I love what I do, I really do. But I’d be lying if I said I would rather be working than goingContinue reading “Day 178”
Day 172
Tuesday 08 September Having a pint in a pub beer garden, at 8pm on a weekday evening, is an unplanned pleasure. Its soon going to be too cold/wet/windy/dark (delete as applicable) to do, so we grabbed the opportunity this evening after our walk. We sit and talk about the rapidly increasing cases of the virusContinue reading “Day 172”
Day 128
Sunday 26 July First weekend of the summer jolly-days and I’m very much focussing on food. I guess this is a natural follow on from the simple stuff I mentioned yesterday. The caterpillars of the Large White butterfly (see post from earlier this week) are feeding merrily on the Nasturtium flowers in the garden. ItContinue reading “Day 128”
Day 113
Saturday 11 July Yesterday, I felt a little down about the end of the spring-summer sprint. Back in March, nature’s bottle of fizz gets shaken vigorously then, POP! The cork flies and spring comes frothing out all over the place. This spring-time effervescence continues to flow for quite a few weeks, months even, cascading intoContinue reading “Day 113”
Day 86
Sunday 14 June I went on another wonderful walk with the Gents Film & Leisure Club today. We drove to North Norfolk to complete the final leg of the Peddars Way. I’m writing this part of the blog sat drinking a beer, eating a chicken roll in the sunshine, and sat opposite my good friendsContinue reading “Day 86”
Day 81
Tuesday 09 June Today the government have done an about turn on their ‘ambitions’ for all primary pupils to return to school this summer. It was the number one story on the radio when we some this morning but is far from a surprise. To safely follow social distancing guidance, schools would need to beContinue reading “Day 81”
