Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

Having successfully avoided catching COVID through the pandemic years I was somewhat miffed to have recently fallen foul of the current summer wave. Well, I suppose I was fortunate in having avoided COVID for so long and it was inevitable that it would catch up with me at some stage. I can’t complain.

So, I have been isolating for a week to avoid transmitting to anyone else. I am on the other side of COVID now, feeling ok but awaiting my sense of smell/taste to return.

Today, I enjoyed a 6 mile countryside walk taking in the views as the farmers begin their harvesting of crops. It was great being out walking.

Following paths across fields and along hedgerows on a balmy summers day was just the tonic I needed.

I had a great walk and I didn’t meet a soul.

Happy Walking ! 😊🚶‍♂️
