Today I picked up something I’ve been coveting for absolutely ages. An electric Brompton in a metallic blue. It was a strange process.

How frustratingContinue reading “April 7th Trespassing walk”

Val’s on holiday this week
It’s a holiday week for Val so she’s been making pasta and I changed the covers on our settee. We managed to get out this afternoon for a walk and found a wood we hadn’t found before. I expect we’ll be going back with cameras tomorrow.
In the garden.
Val and I got out into the garden early. I spent the morning laying honeysuckle down against our two fences and then preparing to BBQ our lunch….. https://photos.app.goo.gl/y5UxBKMxurJ6brKRA We’ve had lunch and you can follow the link to view how the garden is coming on.

Covid-19 comes to the UK
Its been several weeks now that we have become more careful about how we live our lives. Valerie who hasn’t yet been introduced here works in the Prison Service as a teacher. On Tuesday of last week the department of Justice sent her home and she’s been working even more conscientiously than usual since then.
It’s been a longtime
It’s been a long time since I thought about writing something here. I was out walking with Valerie (that’s another story) the other day and she said she had been thinking of writing a blog. I told her I had several blogs that had been written over some time and I’d dig out something forContinue reading “It’s been a longtime”
