Saturday 18 July One of those days when I can post throughout the day… 9.30am We’ve made a conscious effort this year to encourage more insects into our garden. I used to take the approach that, because we live in a rural location, we didn’t need to be so aware. Our little patch was insignificantContinue reading “Day 120”

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 110
Wednesday 08 July It’s been a soggy old day today. It’s like laying under a damp blanket. One of those days when I don’t feel I have fully dried from the shower I had this morning. But, I also had a Cadburys Crunchie today; first time in ages and it was fantastic. So, not allContinue reading “Day 110”
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 99
Saturday 27 June It is blowing hard outside, more like Autumn than mid-Summer. Really different to the past few weeks and a welcome break in my opinion. I’m lying, feet up on the leather sofa, finishing my book. Just read a wonderful passage that has resonated with me. It made me sad. That surge ofContinue reading “Day 99”
Day 98
Friday 26 June What a very different morning? Cool, overcast but equally as pleasing as the bright, warm mornings of late. The distant backdrop sound is a shallow rumble of an electrically charged sky. I heard the rain through the open bedroom window before droplets started to spot it. A subtle sound like someone rubbingContinue reading “Day 98”
Day 96
Wednesday 24 June Today has been the hottest day of the year so far. 28°c in the car this evening when we took Mabel down to Mistley for a walk along The Walls. After I arrived home, I made straight for a cold beer and headed to the bottom of the garden. A moment ofContinue reading “Day 96”
Day 93
Sunday 21 June 8.15am. No walking today as its Father’s Day. When our children were younger, I was always a little perplexed that, on Mother’s day, I had the kids to give Lisa a break. Then, on Father’s day, my treat was to have the kids. Saying that, our kids are, and always have been,Continue reading “Day 93”
Day 83
Thursday 11 June Worked from home today and despite getting much done the day felt quite flat. Largely, I feel, this was due to the all-day heavy cloud cover and the constant threat of rain, which never came. You can be forgiven for thinking that the lockdown is not in place at the moment. IContinue reading “Day 83”
