#LivingInLockdown Day 45 – Wednesday 29th April Today has dragged by. I was on the phone with friends and family for most of the morning, which was lovely, but I’m conscious of the fact that I am counting down the hours until I’m allowed out for a walk. Tomorrow should be better as I […]

#LivingInLockdown Day 43 – Monday 27th April I woke up this morning feeling good. A sense of calm and contentment had come over me. I suspect this is due to the fact that I may be allowed out for a daily walk as of next week. It’s not just the opportunity to walk, though

#LivingInLockdown Day 35 – Sunday 19th April There was a massive storm last night. Thunder, lightening and torrential rain. It was great! I love a tempestuous storm (as long as I’m indoors and dry). As I watched nature having a major strop I felt all my own frustrations melt away. Nothing like a storm
