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 121
Sunday 19 July 10.03am Third leg of the Norfolk Coastal Path today with the great and good of the Gentleman’s Film and Leisure Club. A 7.30am start and we drove to Cley-next-the-Sea to park. Then the coastal hopper bus along the coast road to Wells-next-the-Sea. The usual elements of our walks featured; the coffee toContinue reading “Day 121”
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 111
Thursday 09 July It’s been raining for the past couple of days. In this country we tend to refer to rainy, grey days in the negative. There are exceptions of course. If there has been a prolonged period of no rain then we might see a shower as a bit of light relief, and gardenersContinue reading “Day 111”
Day 108
Monday 06 July Well, I have felt pretty rubbish all day. A tterrible night’s sleep included waking at around 1.30am, curled up in the foetal position, with the most intense shakes. I tried to walk but found it almost impossible to put one foot in front of the other as my muscles spasmed. I eventuallyContinue reading “Day 108”
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 104
Thursday 02 July I would start these mid-week posts with a certain dread thinking that I wouldn’t have enough to talk about. Get up, go to work, come home, go for a walk, go to bed. But I have to remind myself that this is a blog for me. During the week it’s usually onlyContinue reading “Day 104”
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 97
Thursday 25 June So, a few things this evening. First of all, the first beer when you get back home? Perfect. The second? Disappointing. Next, got into the car this evening and this little chap fell on to my seat belt through the window. The vine in our back garden is getting some proper attentionContinue reading “Day 97”
Day 95
Tuesday 23 June “Stop looking at other people’s trees, Dad.” Adora can be very direct and I love her straight, no-nonsense approach. Out on our dog walk this evening, she had clearly had enough of me staring up at the tops of trees. Especially one’s that are in our neighbours’ gardens. The reason for thisContinue reading “Day 95”
