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 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 111
Thursday 09 July It’s been raining for the past couple of days. In this country we tend to refer to rainy, grey days in the negative. There are exceptions of course. If there has been a prolonged period of no rain then we might see a shower as a bit of light relief, and gardenersContinue reading “Day 111”
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 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”
Day 104
Thursday 02 July I would start these mid-week posts with a certain dread thinking that I wouldn’t have enough to talk about. Get up, go to work, come home, go for a walk, go to bed. But I have to remind myself that this is a blog for me. During the week it’s usually onlyContinue reading “Day 104”
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 98
Friday 26 June What a very different morning? Cool, overcast but equally as pleasing as the bright, warm mornings of late. The distant backdrop sound is a shallow rumble of an electrically charged sky. I heard the rain through the open bedroom window before droplets started to spot it. A subtle sound like someone rubbingContinue reading “Day 98”
Day 97
Thursday 25 June So, a few things this evening. First of all, the first beer when you get back home? Perfect. The second? Disappointing. Next, got into the car this evening and this little chap fell on to my seat belt through the window. The vine in our back garden is getting some proper attentionContinue reading “Day 97”
