Sunday 02 August 9am I woke this morning to the sound of young gulls cawing just outside the caravan and the tapping of pigeons on the tin roof. It was 5.52am but I smiled regardless. At 8am, Stan and I went for a regreshing run to shake the early morning cobwebs away. Then, with strongContinue reading “Day 135”

Day 134
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 131
Wednesday 29 July A beautiful summer day. A gentle breeze and non-stop sunshine with plenty of big, white, happy cumulus clouds. Although they are generously scattered across the sky they never seem to block the sun. One of those days. A good day. We decided to go for a midday, midweek walk at one ofContinue reading “Day 131”
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 109
Tuesday 07 July I feel a little guilty. Since Mabel (dog) has come on the scene, Wells and Walsingham (cats, brother and sister) have been moved slightly to the rear of the family stage. Now the cats, especially at this time of the year, bring us ‘gifts of nature’. I think it’s because they areContinue reading “Day 109”
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 90
Thursday 18 June It’s going to be a shorter post this evening. I’m already late in writing this. It’s been a full day, and night. Mabel has been at the vets again today but this time the appointment was a planned one. She has had her tubes done basically, so came home this evening reelingContinue reading “Day 90”
Day 88
Tuesday 16 June The A12 is becoming noticeably busier each day. Lockdown really feels over, and now, with all of the shops open and schools going back…well…I can’t help but feel a little sad. As I am sure I have already written, I am going to do my absolute best to hold on to thisContinue reading “Day 88”
Day 83
Thursday 11 June Worked from home today and despite getting much done the day felt quite flat. Largely, I feel, this was due to the all-day heavy cloud cover and the constant threat of rain, which never came. You can be forgiven for thinking that the lockdown is not in place at the moment. IContinue reading “Day 83”
