Friday 01 JanuaryNew Year’s Day Last night, midnight passed with me in a reasonably optimistic mood. I didn’t nod off or have bad thoughts, and so I can look forward to a promising year ahead. Certainly if the predictions of Wakenhyrst are to be believed. We did our traditional New Year’s Day walk from StuttonContinue reading “Day 287”

Day 258
Thursday 03 December The short passages of time are providing a pleasent pastime right now. It’s nice to reminisce about things that only happened a few days or weeks ago. Five days ago we walked and ran on the beach at Frinton-on-Sea. And as I sit here, in the arm chair, on a cold andContinue reading “Day 258”
Day 253
Saturday 28 November I love Saturdays. They have always been the best day of the week by far. And currently, I am appreciating just how especially precious they are during this winter lockdown. I have repeatedly banged on about my lack of daylight during the week, so those two jewels at the weekend, Saturday andContinue reading “Day 253”
Day 225
Saturday 31 October A soggy day outside in the wet and wild, walking part of the Suffolk coastal path. Then back home to watch the prime minister announce the latest lockdown measures to the nation in a prime time TV special briefing. Another interesting day. We started the walk in sunshine and strong head winds.Continue reading “Day 225”
Day 199
Monday 05 October The trials and tribulations of being a grown up are very much like the place I visited briefly after work today. Seemingly, harmless and secure sending you on a journey with twists and turns you navigate with confidence and ease. But, if you drop your guard, are unprepared, or unaware, it canContinue reading “Day 199”
Day 183
Saturday 19 September 8.45am Lisa has just brought me a cup of coffee and I have woken this morning with a few things already clear in my head. I don’t think they are linked to anything subconsciously that I may have been dreaming about. But they are worthy of me writing down. First, the HummingContinue reading “Day 183”
Day 155
Saturday 22 August A casual morning at home was followed by a sprint to the beach for late afternoon. Back to the birds again this weekend. Before we left I spent a bit of time adding a couple of feathers to my book. They were collected yesterday on my walk. Another from the wing ofContinue reading “Day 155”
Day 154
Friday 21 August After yesterday’s post, diverting slightly away from the kinds of things I normally write about, I am going for a walk in the great outdoors. I need it. In previous summers, I have cycled with the kids, from Harwich to Home. But I want to walk it this summer. I’ll do itContinue reading “Day 154”
Day 145
Wednesday 12 August It has been officially announced that the country is in recession as a result of two quarters of negative GDP. It’s no surprise of course, but still pretty sobering. There is certainly worse to come. I am reading a superb novel at the moment. ‘Wykenhurst’ is set in 1912, in west SuffolkContinue reading “Day 145”
Day 141
Saturday 08 August The Gents Film & Leisure Club went on another walk today. Fourth leg of the Norfolk Coastal Path; a rather humble 8.5 miles from Cley-next-the-Sea to Sheringham. The weather had changed from baking hot yesterday to pleasant but a little windy today. A gusty northerly was now blowing onto the beach fromContinue reading “Day 141”
