Growing OldDays 89 and 90 have passed with a strange mixture of emotions, sadness, chaos, anticipation of I don’t know what and calmness all mixed together. The beaches filled up with locals contemplating on the huge influx of visitors to the area that we shall receive in the coming days and weeks. There will be a […]
Day 82 – I am exhausted trying to decide on a new bed after weeks of looking online, my old one is probably over 30 years old so yes I need one, but making a decision is probably my weakest trait. I don’t understand how shopping excites, lifts and energises my friends, these mattresses are […]
Day 79 found me walking with a shopping trolley to our local market to find it was not there once again, a little disappointed and not sure as to why, I enjoyed a beautiful walk through the park finding two trees in blossom that I hadn’t seen before. Other smaller towns have had their markets […]
Day 76 starts with an eerie silence outside, its one of those days where you wonder if you are all alone in this world with only the sound of birds. It was of course like this when full Lock Down came into force 76 days ago but has been progressively becoming a noisier place these […]
Day 73 – One of the things that has greatly benefited and helped me during this time in Isolation has been taking part in an online nightly (for me) Global Gayatri Sangha with Deva Premal and Miten.

Day 70 and it feels like summer has arrived with a bang, after a few days of intense heat our homes have heated up much quicker than usual, only a week ago we had winter quilts on and jumpers inside, now we have all windows open and are struggling to keep cool. Of course for […]
Day 67 and maybe its time to get my head out of Isolation mode. I have struggled today to get through the jobs I set myself and my mind was wandering all over the place struggling to keep focus. It started with a trip to the town to finally sort out my new hoover, the […]
Day 64 is the first day of phase 1 moving out of lock down and while I feel I should be out celebrating instead I am sat here writing and cleaning at the same time. The thing I looked forward to the most going into this phase, was seeing my Son but it can’t happen […]
Day 62 – Celebration time! – as seems to have been the case throughout this crisis the Government issued a statement late last night, to our surprise and delight we find that we can move into the next phase of de escalation from Monday, a week earlier than originally stated. The sense of freedom and […]
Day 60 – Face masks seem to be at the forefront of discussions at the moment and looking at news reports I hadn’t considered how complicated this subject is, the government is trying to decide if they should be made compulsory outdoors along with there now obligatory use on public transport. Besides the scientific different […]
