Lockdown – Week 5

Leave a Reply
Home made planters

Still in lockdown, but now getting used to it. I’ve been making full use of the good weather and have produced these two planters for the garden. I’ve also made another smaller one. Just wondering what to do with the rest of the wood I have. I don’t want to use it all up at once as our local DIY stores have yet to reopen. There are big queues at the ones that have opened.

Spirits still okay, plenty of food and toilet roll! At least we won’t starve, neither will Jimmy, the dog! I suppose we are getting used to this new experience, but it will be great when we can actually do away from the “social distancing”. We can speak with friends but still have to keep 2m away from them or shout across the road.

Lockdown – Week 4

Week 4 in lockdown now underway. UK is on track to have the most deaths in Europe as now over 10,000 people here have died. We are well and staying safe in line with guidelines. Jimmy, the dog still needs to be walked, however, living in a village, there are not so many people around compared with cities. We can take him for walks and not see anyone.

It is so quiet with little traffic around. This means that we can hear the birdsong which cheers us up and gives us hope for the future. Still no sign of when the current lockdown rules will be relaxed. I can still see us having some form of lockdown for at least another two months.

We are both experimenting with cooking which is fun. The days seem to have gone quite quickly, perhaps the good weather has helped. At least we can spend time in the garden. We feel sorry for those who are stuck in flats with no garden to enjoy. It must be hard for them.
