The days get shorter, the nights get longer and colder. I want to sleep the winter out, and wake up to a covid free world. Leaves are falling. Bats look for a winter roost – we put bat boxes up in the local churchyard.
There’s good news at last – the prospect of a vaccine….. and at last I’m able to get a flu jab…..
Out to the beach again, with a friend – we go in different cars, but are able to get a coffee at a real cafe… we enter and leave wearing our masks, but the ‘normalcy’ of sitting inside with a bacon bap and drinking tea and coffee, brings back memories of the halcyon days last year when this was all but commonplace.
I try the drone this day- but the wind is so strong it won’t move forward. I take a photo and put it away…..
I get out with another friend for a walk in the woods. Explore somewhere I’ve never been before… the colours are amazing, and I temporarily forget that there’s a problem in the world…. my friend talks about ‘forest bathing’ – and I can see his point. I come away feeling relaxed and yet energised….
I even start to learn a bit about fungi – which is abounding in these woods…. Amethyst Deceiver….. beautiful but I wouldn’t fancy it for breakfast.
