I just cut all my hair off

As we are not allowed out for things that are deemed unnecessary it rather cuts out the opportunity to go and get my “barnet” trimmed and besides that I am not sure I want to sit in a barbers chair while he or she breaths all over me; so, the remaining two options are, let it grow and cut it all off….
I decided on the latter option and those of you who have known me for more than five minutes will know this is something I tend to do once in a while…………..So, this morning it’s out with the clippers, stand in the bath and buzz away about six months growth.
It feels refreshing but just a tad chilly. I’ll get used to it again.
For the record, here’s proof .
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 for her…..
Here we are now using WordPress rather than my original app “Blogger”. I would have used blogger but it isn’t available on a Chromebook!!? Can you believe that? Its a Google app for heavens sake. Anyway, here I am picking up a thread after many years on this particular blog. In that time I moved to Norwich and lived in two rental properties before coming to my current address where I live with Valerie and Bob the cat

So, here we are on 30th March 2020 starting all over again
2019 06 : Capel Curig holiday
This was our second holiday in North Wales staying in Capel Curig. We invited friends who we had met in Morrocco to join us. The weather was forecast to be mainly wet but it was glorious
2019 06 : Watkin path up Snowdon, Llanberis down. A serious walk.
This walk started as a glorious bright but damp day. Val and I decided to do this route up to the peak of Snowdon because it was reported as the hardest and we though we should give it a go. We got about half way up before the mist came down on us and it was a little scary
The Morocco Tour 2109
Madeira 2019
Unfortunately the tour of Madeira has come to an end. We had a lovely time and were surprised by the good weather. The hotel was excellent. We were upgraded on arrival to a small suite which suited us very well.
2018 09 : Zante, Zakynthos, Greece
Zante was our first holiday in the sun and we were lucky enough to share a few days of it with Chris and Alice who flew out ahead of us.
2018 06 : Capel Curig, Snowdonia, North Wales
My first visit to Capel Curig but not by any means my first to North Wales. As some reading this will know I used to part own a facility in Bala. Thats another story.
