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 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 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 88
Tuesday 16 June The A12 is becoming noticeably busier each day. Lockdown really feels over, and now, with all of the shops open and schools going back…well…I can’t help but feel a little sad. As I am sure I have already written, I am going to do my absolute best to hold on to thisContinue reading “Day 88”
Day 86
Sunday 14 June I went on another wonderful walk with the Gents Film & Leisure Club today. We drove to North Norfolk to complete the final leg of the Peddars Way. I’m writing this part of the blog sat drinking a beer, eating a chicken roll in the sunshine, and sat opposite my good friendsContinue reading “Day 86”
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”
