Enjoy reading my blog? DON’T buy me a cup of coffee, but I’d love you to donate the cost of a coffee (or more!) to Bath City Farm

A (mostly) rainy day
On the whole I’m not a great fan of being out in the rain, though of course as a gardener I welcome it wholeheartedly. But at some level I’m still the schoolchild who always enjoyed ‘indoor play’, often more than … Continue reading

Delicate planning – the Christmas edition
Now we’re out of lockdown and formally into Tier 2, not a lot has changed, for us at any rate. We will still minimise our contact with others, especially indoors. We will continue to think carefully about any plans. We … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 27 (Tuesday)
And so here we are, at the last day of this second lockdown. I was under the impression that the lockdown was for 4 weeks, so it feels a day premature to be ending it tonight, but there we go. … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 26 (Monday)
I seem to have forgotten how to count. Today is day 26 of the current lockdown. I need to go back and change the numbers of earlier posts. Things fall apart… Today we celebrated the 45th anniversary of when we … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 23 (Sunday)
Foggy foggy day. We took our flasks and buns for a walk to the top of a hill to see the view. There was no view (of course), though it gradually revealed itself to us as we sat and chatted … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 21 (Wednesday)
Thought I hit publish on this yesterday, but evidently not. Over the past few days I’ve realised that I’m struggling more with this lockdown than I did the first. Obviously because we’ve been in this for so long now, and … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 20 (Tuesday)
Today I mostly went for a long walk, to meet up with an older family member to have flasks of coffee together on a bench by the canal. A favourite walk, one I’ve done many times, and yet I saw … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 19 (Monday)
Lots of pottering around catching up with household jobs, and cooking. A local walk down to the river and back, this time together. Best of all, another baby (7th grandchild for our friends in Denmark, and their first boy). While … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 18 (Sunday)
After a murky start, the mist eventually cleared and the sun shone. Perfect for the new-to-us local walk we’d planned. Inspired by the map of places provided by Bathscape, we set off to visit Carrs Wood in Twerton. I’m so … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 days 16 and 17 (Friday and Saturday)
Catch-up time. Again. Friday was a good day, despite spending most of the morning at the dentist having a filling redone. A very different experience from pre-covid: the surgery has had to invest in all sorts of new safety measures … Continue reading
