Saturday 21 November So good to get out in the daylight today. We went just along the south bank of the Stour estuary to Wrabness and a walk through ancient woodland and open meadow. It’s definitely one of our favourite places. The woods themselves are well managed, something I had never given any consideration toContinue reading “Day 246”

Day 233
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 232
Saturday 07 November I woke this morning at 8.04 am straight out of a dream. When that happens it is quite disorientating. But the sun was shining and I had had a wonderful deep and long sleep. So, a smile soon planted itself on my face and has pretty much stayed there all day. ThisContinue reading “Day 232”
Day 226
Sunday 01 November I don’t know if today is the end of an incredible week or the start of an incredible week. Arguably, it’s both. This past week has seen the fishing out of good parcels and a half-term break of if, buts and maybe’s politically, so ially and economically. It culminated personally with aContinue reading “Day 226”
Day 225
Saturday 31 October A soggy day outside in the wet and wild, walking part of the Suffolk coastal path. Then back home to watch the prime minister announce the latest lockdown measures to the nation in a prime time TV special briefing. Another interesting day. We started the walk in sunshine and strong head winds.Continue reading “Day 225”
Day 222
This morning started quietly. I took a bit of time simply watching and listening to the sights and sounds in the back garden. The sunshine was blasting the lawn and quivering branches with luke warm light. It’s a hollow light compared to that of the spring or summer, but it is very welcome nonetheless. WhatContinue reading “Day 222”
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 187
Wednesday 23 September Although I have started refereeing again on a Sunday, I am missing the walks I would be doing with the Gentleman’s Film & Leisure Club. Sadly, I need an additional day in the weekend. I love packing my backpack, getting my boots on and researching the route beforehand. The preparation is allContinue reading “Day 187”
Day 177
Sunday 13 September Things came together at the right time the other day. Twice. And both had a trumpet as a common feature. Actually, Haydn’s trumpet concerto in E Flat. A piece written in 1796 to showcase the technological creation that was the three-valved trumpet. The right tune at the right moment is always aContinue reading “Day 177”
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”
