Today has been all about the announcement that Boris Johnson was going to make this afternoon and evening. The much anticipated ‘road-map’ out of lockdown. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all explained bits of what they are doing but this is the one that explains what England will do and what the UK willContinue reading “Day 339”

Day 338
Sunday 21 February 1.15pm What a remarkable day it has been so far? The sun has been out all day, at times illuminating an occasional milky white sky, but the warmth it radiates is felt on the face and in the soul. I did the first grass cut of the back lawn today. I cannotContinue reading “Day 338”
Day 337
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 251
Thursday 26 November Yesterday I briefly mentioned how texture is something that is much more apparent to me now that the green has rescinded. Trees reveal their faces in the autumn and winter. The wind and darkness draws back their leafy veils and shows every wrinkle and crack. Age impacts on all living things, andContinue reading “Day 251”
Day 247
Sunday 22 November A beautiful day today. It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do to raise energy levels and my general disposition. The sun has been shining all day and the temperature has been mild for typical November days. But that’s something that needs to be reconsidered now; global climate change has alteredContinue reading “Day 247”
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 112
Friday 10 July The sparrow nest box at work has a new brood of young in there. It’s very good news and is fuelling my plans for the future use of the outdoor space. I haven’t seen the kestrels for a few days now – it may be due to the damp weather of late?Continue reading “Day 112”
Day 84
Friday 12 June Today has escaped me really. Got up, went to work, came home, went food shopping, ate dinner, watched tv, went to bed. Final preparations have been made for the Year 10 students coming in on Monday. I think my biggest worry is the staff, as many have not been on site sinceContinue reading “Day 84”
