Spreading a bit of light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 23rd post. Today, we set off to a part of the forest where we know bluebells dwell. These lovely spring flowers can be seen in many forests, laying a fine carpet …

Spreading a bit of light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 21st post. Our walk today was a little shorter than usual; neither of us felt strong (we’re both subject to the attacks the years pile up – but rather that than …

Continuing to spread a bit of light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 17th post. We had to go food shopping this morning. From the village this entails a short drive to a local town, as the wonderful village shop doesn’t stock …

Continuing to spread a bit of light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 16th post. The sunshine returned this morning.

Continuing to spread some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 14th post. Today, rain was forecast.

Continuing to spread some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 12th post.

Continuing to spread some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 11th post.

Continuing to spread some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 10th post.

Continuing to spread some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 6th post. Unseasonally warm today, even in the early morning.

Continuing to spread some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the fifth post. This time of lockdown is so odd, so unfamiliar for most of us. Today, we needed some fresh food, so a short walk to the village shop was required. …
