Saturday 20 February “It was one of those golden days which every now and again leak out of paradise and drip to earth. Spring had been late in coming, but now it was here with a burst, and the whole world was boiling with the sap of life. Never have I seen such a wealthContinue reading “Day 337”

Day 322
Friday 05 February I’m starting today’s post from the evening. Yes, it was a good day, much achieved and a really good buzz, but the end of the day came with a desire to leave while it was still light. It has been mild today, dry and bright. The birds have been out in force,Continue reading “Day 322”
Day 277
Tuesday 22 December Whilst walking around our local lanes this afternoon, Adora came up with her six word story. “Scarlet splashes, frosted glass, laughter heard.” Pretty macabre on first read and, indeed, when she explained her original thinking. But then we chatted about the possible plots and scenarios that could be born from just thoseContinue reading “Day 277”
Day 254
Sunday 29 November We went on an earlier walk today as we had a few other chores to do. We went to Stratford St Mary and one of our familiar walks along the river Stour. It was so good to see so many people out and about, simply enjoying the outdoors. The sky was greyContinue reading “Day 254”

Conversations about this and that; the benefits of meditation, the positives from the Covid-19 pandemic, forest farms and apple orchard husbandry. I’m taking a lead from my friend, Pete, who speaks so passionately about his plans toContinue reading “Day 137”
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 126
Friday 24 July It was my last day at work today and I am going to miss my daily drives down to Heybridge. We’ve got a fantastic month or so ahead of relaxation and trying to take stock of what has happened over the past few months. I’m going to head down there this summerContinue reading “Day 126”
