Sunday 08 November We have been out on some nice local walks this weekend. Enjoying the mild temperatures and accompanying sunshine. It does make a real difference when the weather is good. But as we are deep into the Autumn, it’s not so much of an issue if the weather is good or not. JustContinue reading “Day 233”

Day 231
Friday 06 November Today all eyes have been glued to the news coming from the US and waiting to see what has happened in the election. But this is a distraction from the craziness of life in the UK and across the world right now. Anxiety is rising amongst the staff and generally across theContinue reading “Day 231”
Day 230
Thursday 05 November Today started with some mild Covid19 concern at work but it all got sorted swiftly and calmly. The first day of the second nationwide lockdown started with a bit of a bang. We have had a box of tree saplings delivered to the school for us to plant up on the schoolContinue reading “Day 230”
Day 203
Friday 09 October Crikey, what a week. Coronavirus, interview and a new job and all the usual trappings of family life and a working week. Then, here we are at the end of another Friday. Beautiful sunshine to start the day. The view from the bathroom, onto our back garden this morning, was good enoughContinue reading “Day 203”
Day 190
Saturday 26 September Autumn and winter are the seasons of hibernation. Nature winds down to sleep out the cold and dark times. My blog is going to do something similar. I have decided that I will do a weekly entry covering a full seven days on each one, unless something dramatic occurs of course. 2pmContinue reading “Day 190”
Day 179
Tuesday 15 September The United Nations has published a report today that backs up other recent research about the threat to biodiversity on earth. The impact humans are having, due to their behaviours, is putting so many species of plants and animals under threat of extinction. It makes for very upsetting and unsettling reading. MyContinue reading “Day 179”
Day 176
Saturday 12 September Oh my, I love Saturday mornings. That feeling, after a challenging week at work, of waking up when your ready rather than when the alarm tells you. Then, a large cup of fresh coffee in bed and a few chapters of my book. This morning, we went on a balmy, late summerContinue reading “Day 176”
Day 172
Tuesday 08 September Having a pint in a pub beer garden, at 8pm on a weekday evening, is an unplanned pleasure. Its soon going to be too cold/wet/windy/dark (delete as applicable) to do, so we grabbed the opportunity this evening after our walk. We sit and talk about the rapidly increasing cases of the virusContinue reading “Day 172”
Day 171
Monday 07 September Numbers of confirmed covid 19 cases are rising. Yesterday was 3000+, the highest since May 22, and today it was 2900. Deaths are still low, which is being put down to the fact that the majority of cases are affecting the young. This correlates with pubs and clubs reopening, shops and workplacesContinue reading “Day 171”
Day 169
Saturday 05 September September is certainly a time of movement and change. The trees around us are really showing signs of summer ending and autumn starting. They change their appearance which, in turn, changes the whole look and feel of the countryside around them. One tree loses its leaves, and it stands out. But ifContinue reading “Day 169”
