I like to ride my bicycle….

So having got our bikes and really starting to enjoy being able to go a bit further in our exercise time, we took a new route along the canal way. The path is really well laid and perfect for walking/ cycling….. Most of the way… Towards the end of the path there’s no gravel andContinue reading “I like to ride my bicycle….”

Easter…month

Well I feel like we were rewarded for our efforts of staying at home by wall-to-wall sunshine over Easter and for that I am very grateful. It was such a lovely (albeit different) Easter, and despite the copious amounts of chocolate we ate, I am now ready to do it all again. I have toContinue reading “Easter…month”

FABULOUS

Everyone knows I love the clap for carers at 8pm on a Thursday… but as the evenings get lighter, it’s becoming apparent that I can no longer hide my pineapple hair do, no makeup, mid-eyebrow tint look in the darkness. I might actually have to start getting dressed up for the occasion so as notContinue reading “FABULOUS”

SUN

Today I sunbathed in the garden. Sunbathed. In England. In March. Would I ever normally be sunbathing in March at home? Absolutely not. Am I going to do this every time the sun is out whilst in isolation? Absolutely! It’s my nephews birthday this week and it’s made us all feel sad that he’s hadContinue reading “SUN”

You Got This

Ahhhhh Day release. What a wonderful hour! We picked a walk avoiding as many people as possible, but if my route was recorded it would show so many zigzags it would look like a heart rate monitor. Isn’t it funny that it’s now normal to step into a road just to avoid walking within 2Continue reading “You Got This”

W.I.N.E

One wine, two wine, three wine… OMG How do we get more wine???? It’s Saturday! Hoooorayyy…….. Oh wait, nothing has changed. We did, however, get another food drop. Food drops are like Christmas; I even floated the idea of getting someone else to do our food shopping even when this is all over. The thrillContinue reading “W.I.N.E”

Tea, Tea & more Tea

Well my face now resembles that of a teenager. Whether it’s the sudden lack of sunlight or my face crying over its new life, I have a situation on my hands. Obviously when backpacking, I didn’t have the room (or need) for face potions and so I now find myself putting salty water on myContinue reading “Tea, Tea & more Tea”

Day 5 Isolation

Now for most people, this is day 10 and I totally appreciate that you’ve done double the time and therefore probably think I should just keep quiet. But I am really struggling with isolation and being back home in the UK in general. In December (2019) we set off on a round-the-world backpacking adventure, dreamtContinue reading “Day 5 Isolation”
