It’s been cold, or wet, or windy almost every day since Good Friday (7 April 2023), there’s really not been enough dry days in between the wet ones so I’ve not been on a country walk for 18 days (it’s 25 April today) and having a rare dry, warmish, and not blustery day today IContinue reading “A Mental Health Day”

A Good Friday walk
Yesterday’s walk was far from straightforward and far from quiet on occasions. It was Good Friday, children are off school for Easter, and we’ve had quite a bit of rain over the last few weeks so 3 days of dry weather needed taking advantage of. I knew there’d be areas of “soft ground” but asContinue reading “A Good Friday walk”

Nature’s changing again
A week of almost constant mostly light rain followed by a few days of dry weather meant yesterday (4 September 2021) was an ideal day for a walk to see how nature was changing. It was about 3 weeks since my last walk that way. I expected to see all the crops harvested. I walkedContinue reading “Nature’s changing again”
