Different weeks

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

Vive l’entente cordiale!
Oops! I thought I had posted this ages ago. Apparently not. This was a trip we made in February. Sorry for the delay. Also – I’ve run out of space for photos. Time to get myself in gear and upgrade … Continue reading
Five good things – and a bonus sixth (and it’s Friday!)

Five (good) things on Friday
I seem to have entered a new (and most welcome) phase of having more energy. Maybe co-inciding with longer daylight hours. Roll on the clocks changing later this month…. Here are this week’s Five: Not applying to do a course. … Continue reading

My goodness, here we are again. Friday morning. (Okay, I know it’s Saturday now. But truly, I wrote this yesterday). Missed a few (again). Life’s been busy, as ever, but definitely in a good way. So, here are a few … Continue reading
