Saturday 01 August Up in Norfolk again today; in Wells-next-the-Sea with the family. We so totally love this part of the planet and have done for many years. A poor turn out of moths last night but I didn’t give it much of a chance to be honest. There was a Garden Carpet moth (XanthorhoeContinue reading “Day 134”

Day 133
Friday 31 July About a week and half ago I turned an old shallow sink into a birdbath. Sealed the plug hole with an old jam jar lid and popped in a couple of brick bits. I filled it with tap water from the hose as I knew there were nymphs in the water-butt. NotContinue reading “Day 133”
Day 129
Monday 27 July Our friends are camping in Suffolk at the moment and have been posting some fabulous images of the vast East Anglian sky. I know I take our atmosphere for granted. It is highly complex but very simple at the same time, and I am pretty casual in appreciating what it does forContinue reading “Day 129”
Day 124
Wednesday 22 July It’s been a day of completing work as we near the end of the school year. A little strange as the kids are not in and with things still not back to normal yet. We’ve booked flights for Italy in October. A sign that we are looking beyond the here and nowContinue reading “Day 124”
Day 116
Tuesday 14 July It’s been a while since I have referred to coronavirus in this blog. I guess this is partly because I (and many others) am bored of it as a all as a talking point. Perhaps also because it’s a bit depressing really. Plenty of chat about the use of face masks atContinue reading “Day 116”
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 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”
Day 100
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 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”
