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”

Day 95
Tuesday 23 June “Stop looking at other people’s trees, Dad.” Adora can be very direct and I love her straight, no-nonsense approach. Out on our dog walk this evening, she had clearly had enough of me staring up at the tops of trees. Especially one’s that are in our neighbours’ gardens. The reason for thisContinue reading “Day 95”
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 92
Saturday 20 June I love Saturday. Who doesnt? Is it the best day of the week? I would imagine that if a poll was done in the UK for the best day of the week I reckon Saturday would win comfortably. Today started, like most of our Saturdays, slow, with coffee and sunshine. Adora madeContinue reading “Day 92”
Day 91
Friday 19 June It is encouraging to read that the government are expecting all children to return to school in September. At the moment only Years R, 1, 6, 10 and 12 can attend and not all of them are choosing to. The schools operate very differently and, especially for the younger children, the warmthContinue reading “Day 91”
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 87
Monday 15 June I felt hungover for pretty much most of the day today. The walk yesterday took it out of me more than I anticipated. It must be just a coincidence that I turned fifty a few weeks ago, it can’t be an age thing, surely? Still it was a memorable walk and oneContinue reading “Day 87”
Day 86
Sunday 14 June I went on another wonderful walk with the Gents Film & Leisure Club today. We drove to North Norfolk to complete the final leg of the Peddars Way. I’m writing this part of the blog sat drinking a beer, eating a chicken roll in the sunshine, and sat opposite my good friendsContinue reading “Day 86”
