My fab step-son Andy and his lovely partner Stella took us out for a meal last night in Bristol. Prior to the evening, I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about it, as we had been isolating due to Denise’s asthma, but it was great to eat out again. The staff at the restaurant wereContinue reading “July 25th – First post-lockdown dinner”

July 21st – First spin in 6 months
Before our European trip I took 4/5 spin classes a week, but obviously that stopped whilst traveling and then we got home all gyms were closed As mentioned in previous posts, gyms have been hit hard financial, and so it’s great to see them being able to reopen and rebuild their businesses. It did comeContinue reading “July 21st – First spin in 6 months”
July 15th – Workshop progress
Today’s picture is of the new workshop under construction. Half of the roof is on, but I need to wait for some poly carbonate sheets for the other side. As I was building it, I couldn’t help thinking about all of the poor souls that don’t have one of the basic needs for any creatureContinue reading “July 15th – Workshop progress”
July 7th – Au Revoir
Today’s picture, is of our dear friends Clive and Sarah, who have been our drive guests for a few weeks due to their year long trip, being put on hold due to the Corona Virus out-break, and having rented out their house.

June 30th – look back or forward?
Well, I like to do both. The picture today is of our calendar. Each year I create a calendar which has photos of a year ago in that month. As we hit 100 days in lockdown (in the UK), and say goodbye to June, I reflect on last year’s trip to Scotland from the calendarContinue reading “June 30th – look back or forward?”
June 28th – Festivals
Like so many others, we are missing live music due to Covid-19. Today’s picture is one dug out from the archives which I hope captures the atmosphere at Glastonbury, where we should have been today. Although we have been watching the BBC’s archives of Glastonbury on the TV, it isn’t quite the same. The vastContinue reading “June 28th – Festivals”
June 25th – Hot, Hot, Hot
Hot work ….
June 17th – Socially distanced coffee mornings
Today’s picture features our neighbours Jules & Phil, and our drive guests Sarah & Clive. We have been having a morning natter for a while now, breaking the monotony of social isolation. Everyone brings their own drinks and stays 2m apart to stay within the guidelines. The subject matter varies greatly, depending on what’s happeningContinue reading “June 17th – Socially distanced coffee mornings”
June 15th – Trophy
Today’s picture is of the ‘Daneromi’ Trophy (from the first 2 letters of Dave, Neil, Rob and Mike). We have been playing golf together for a while, and late last year we got a little trophy which is awarded to the winner after each game. I had a ‘purple patch’ and won 3 times onContinue reading “June 15th – Trophy”
June 14th – Invaders
So I shifted our motorhome on to the drive for a few minutes to give it a clean, but when I looked around these 2 had parked their MoHo and made themselves at home!!! OK, so a little exaggeration…… Our dear friends Clive and Sarah found themselves stranded due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Like us,Continue reading “June 14th – Invaders”
