Stayed at home today, no cycling or running, just a quiet day to recover. So I spent all morning in the garden clearing and sweeping and a bit of planting and digging. Then I realised that my favourite car wash facility is closed in the lockdown so I did a complete clean inside and out […]
Today I was contacted and told that Barty House will not from now be receiving any visitors due to the rapid increase in Covid cases across Kent. I was taken aback a bit as I thought they were doing so well in keeping the virus out. However, they did confirm that there have been no […]
During the past few days I have been collecting items for the vulnerable and isolated. This is through a Maidstone charity called Involve. My Rotary friend Andy and I went to the Involve hub today where they had opened up so we could hand over the items collected. We each had a car load so […]
A lovely day for my ride. Sun shining and up to 15 degrees.. in November! Met MikeB at Brenchley then off to coffee at Hartley. Only take aways allowed. I can understand the need for the general rule in lockdown but the cafe had a nice outdoor decking with tables and chairs but we were […]
I took Sue to meet her birthday tree in Dering Wood today. After our delicious veggie sausage rolls and coffee at the Headcorn airfield cafe we went into the soggy Woodland Trust woods near Pluckley and found Grove 3. There we selected a tree. Sue liked the idea of a young tree, don’t know what […]
Mum was waiting patiently for me as I was about 10 mins late due to Loose Rd blocked with traffic. After the usual “how are you, Mum?” I got the same usual 30 sec response.”Not a good day I was up in the night feeling dizzy” Once that was out of the way we had […]
A wet and windy day brought more news of the loss of two great well known people. Entertainer Des O’Connor aged 88 and Liverpool and England football legend, Ray Clemence. He was only 72 and died of prostate cancer. Both sad losses and will be missed by millions. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton who today has […]
Apparently Mum played Scatterpack in Activities today. That’s interesting, I’ve never heard of it! My Connect 4 that I ordered online arrived today. It is rubbish, too small and fiddly, Mum will have difficulty. Trouble is I can’t pop out and buy another proper one as toyshops are closed and I go to see Mum […]
At Sue’s request we visited Hastings for a long walk along the front taking in lung fulls of oxygen and ozone in the fresh virus free air. Hastings has one of the lowest number of reported Covid cases in the Country. Nobody knows why really, but it might be the ozone from the sea breeze […]
15 degrees this afternoon, so we have made the most of it. I did another couple of charity collections then Sue wanted a ride out so we took her friends birthday present to her in Bearsted. We went through Mote Park, amazed at number of people out walking and enjoying the sunshine. Not everyone social […]
