Thursday 30 July I read a couple of shocking articles this morning that made me too upset to be sad. In the slums of north-east India, the Greater Adjutant stork mixes with humans to forage in the rubbish tips for food. They also roost there at night. The storks’ wetland habitat is being destroyed byContinue reading “Day 132”

Day 130
Tuesday 28 July 9.55 am I started the day with a run. I haven’t done any exercise like that since me and Adora did the couch to 5k programme back in deepest, darkest lockdown. Pretty pleased with myself, I didn’t stop, collapse or cry so I call that a success. Got to make it regularContinue reading “Day 130”
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 123
Tuesday 21 July The world has already reverted back to it’s pre-Covid19 madness. It wasn’t that long ago that we were all saying how much we had learnt about ourselves and our relationships with one another. That coping with this virus across the world made everyone our neighbour regardless of nationality. It was (is) aContinue reading “Day 123”
Day 117
Wednesday 15 July It feels a bit odd to be writing about stuff not directly related to nature or the important stuff all around us. But there has been an interesting news item pop up on my phone whilst travelling home. Going on current trends, the population of the planet is set to dramatically dropContinue reading “Day 117”
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 103
Wednesday 01 July Today was the first day that I found myself getting frustrated behind the steering wheel of my car. Driving to and from work is still not as busy as before the lockdown but it’s getting there. I don’t know what I am most frustrated with; the aggressive driving of others, the factContinue reading “Day 103”
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”
