Saturday 25 July Simple things. The wonderful satisfaction and pleasure that comes from the simplicity of no drama, no pressure, no expectation. Today, I feel, is the first day of our summer holidays. There is no rush to get things done; which means when things do get done, I can revel in striking a lineContinue reading “Day 127”

Day 126
Friday 24 July It was my last day at work today and I am going to miss my daily drives down to Heybridge. We’ve got a fantastic month or so ahead of relaxation and trying to take stock of what has happened over the past few months. I’m going to head down there this summerContinue reading “Day 126”
Day 123
Tuesday 21 July The world has already reverted back to it’s pre-Covid19 madness. It wasn’t that long ago that we were all saying how much we had learnt about ourselves and our relationships with one another. That coping with this virus across the world made everyone our neighbour regardless of nationality. It was (is) aContinue reading “Day 123”
Day 121
Sunday 19 July 10.03am Third leg of the Norfolk Coastal Path today with the great and good of the Gentleman’s Film and Leisure Club. A 7.30am start and we drove to Cley-next-the-Sea to park. Then the coastal hopper bus along the coast road to Wells-next-the-Sea. The usual elements of our walks featured; the coffee toContinue reading “Day 121”
Day 119
Friday 17 July When I was a child, I guess I must have been around 9 or 10, I owned a rabbits foot. I also had a tail. I got them through trading with friends, a rubiks cube was the price. I also acquired a small pen knife that I had also traded, for aContinue reading “Day 119”
Day 118
Thursday 16 July It’s a beautiful morning and I can do anything I want. A few days into the summer holiday and school already feels like a fuzzy memory. Nothing to think about except the here and now. I’ve woken early naturally, probably because of the excitement that was welling inside me before I wentContinue reading “Day 118”
Day 112
Friday 10 July The sparrow nest box at work has a new brood of young in there. It’s very good news and is fuelling my plans for the future use of the outdoor space. I haven’t seen the kestrels for a few days now – it may be due to the damp weather of late?Continue reading “Day 112”
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”
