I never blog when I feel I have nothing to say. I like to retreat occasionally. This has been an unusually long retreat. On reflection, there has been plenty going here in these unusual times. We have had to shield to look after elderly parents so not much real human contact for months. I am so grateful for technology so I get to see and speak to family every single day.
Every morning I check weather, headline news and favourite blogs. A big shout out to all the bloggers that have kept going. I have appreciated you all throughout these strange times.
What an unusual 10 months it has been? Best way to catch up is with a few photos.
2020 Spring walks within a 3 mile radius.
Beautiful sunny VE Day. Tea for Two in the back garden.
Exciting times. The campsites open again.
Trips out. Symonds Yat

Brightening up the sun room. Wonky shelves dismantled. Teapots scaled down and behind doors in a new to me cabinet. Chandelier given to me from a house renovation.
A quiet reflective Christmas.
The long dark days. 
I didn’t have any snow photos but temperatures got down to -9 C a couple of nights. Now looking forward to a warmer spell and some good news for a change.
Jog on Covid. I have my jab on Wednesday and parents are safely done for now. I have been furloughed from work until school return on March 8th. My colleagues in Early Years have been working as usual. We have never seen so many key workers and vulnerable families all of a sudden! Two of my colleagues got Covid most likely from the setting, although government knowalls said we are low risk. One 32 year old hospitalised. No testing. No PPE. Just clean clean clean and open windows and doors. Take them outside in all weathers. No soft toys. No dressing up. Singing out loud banned. This is all the little ones have known in their first year of preschool. Apparently they have taken it in their stride. They wash their little hands like adults and know that a fist bump instead of a hug is the new way of greeting people. I hope it will be good news tomorrow from the government with a road map out of this. Spring on the way. New beginnings.
A forlorn first daffodil. Better times are coming :)
