Some photographs was our walk a couple of days ago.. 

Summer is here in Blighty, 22° at the moment.. Wednesday March 31st..

Quackers!


My mind is flitting today between the here and now, and another moment I'm sat on my day night bed chair in Málaga hospital...

I literally cannot keep my mind from time travelling backwards and forwards.. 

I'm getting a tension headache and my eyes are hurting.. well, my right one, wondering half the time if my new glasses are actually doing anything..

And outwardly.. the world turns..
People are allowed to meet outside and they've gone crazy too many people meeting in too many wide open places.. 

If they're not careful this country will lock down again.. 

Would be okay if the teens to 30's were vaccinated..
Okay I'm done, can't type or see screen easily now.

Halloween 2020 Hunters Moon

Our new regulations as they stand today..

Yes we are in the yellow sector..

And here in the UK emergency talks later with regards to a full on lockdown, again.

Feels like the end of the world as we knew it, brings all the distopian ideas, films, books.. into a reality none of us could ever have envisioned.

And I just want to get home.

Don't want to be here feeling like this, it's worse being away from home at times like this.

Bit of a nothing Blog.. but needed to share how I feel.. 

And I'm not alone in this, I know.. I mean about these times we're all in together.. not my Blog!

Was ending here.. but it's Halloween, and a full moon today, Hunters Moon..

The moon photograph above is probably the best photo of the moon I have ever taken, taken December 3rd 2017 from my brother's home in California...

This purloined piece of art.. just because I've always liked it.. 

I jokingly told the lady I am supporting I would be out tonight on my broomstick.. she said not to leave her at home, so I said I'd hitch on my sidecar to my broom.. and we can fly like that! 

We had this conversation yesterday, and today she brought it up again, so tonight we shall fly towards the moon a while, me on my broomstick, her on her sidecar.. 

Wish I could pen this picture in my mind to paper.. what a sight!

Happy Halloween peoples across the world..

I'm a very bad Blogger!! Bad bad!

Okay! Since May 9th??

Left placement.. spent 8 nights in an Airbnb in Bewdley..

Feel like a local now! I know the walks, the rivers, the forests, the wildlife, the dogs, even some of the people!

Some familiar faces from when I was placed here earlier on in the year.. January 7th for two weeks!

Now I'm back.. in time of Lockdown...

A few pictures for now.. and more later... I am in work..






All beautiful Bewdley...

VE day. 75 years ago today.


Sorry! Started yesterday but time and whatsit wait for no one!!

Above Birmingham Moor Street station on my way here... Eleven something in the morning on a Thursday..

Bodmin New Street two of us left by way of the Moor Street doors... There was just me on the carriage from Derby to Birmingham.. and only two of us got off at the last stop on my last train coming into the tourist destination of Stratford Upon Avon!


I'm in a small hamlet where I have been before, I did a ten weeks placement of ten weeks here, three years in September..


Very different at this time of the year of course, and at this time of lockdown 2020...

There was a street party of sorts here yesterday, we stopped briefly to join in songs and a radio report from 75 years ago by Winston Churchill, and in the evening sat outside on the kerb, in chairs.. a pizza oven cooking on the small green, and music playing on an old windup record player.. 

Very convivial, was good fun..


Not the greatest photograph of the bunting, but I wanted the milk float in the picture.. as it's makes it seem so much more old school!

There were a couple singing 1940's songs in the village yesterday, and as I walked around people were were getting tables and chairs out in their front gardens in preparation all around the village, looked very Miss Marple!! 

I'm enjoying a walk here every day.. walks I never got to do last time, felt a bit like coming home as we pulled into the road off the main road...


If I'd known I'd be ... Ummm trapped? in England for so long, I'd have brought my proper camera!


Along with clothes for spring.. or summer!!


My three t-shirts are getting holy already!!

Walked past this railing in the past, many times, but never noticed it until today.. my granddaughter pointed something's out there..

Steps down and all overgrown.. good photo opportunity!

Another good walk.. another beautiful day..
In this strange dystopian world we now live in.

Where today's highlight was me watching the progress of an Amazon driver nine deliveries away, but also only four streets away!

I was, much to the annoyance of my son, giving a running commentary of his immentent arrival!

And just before he arrived I went outside to wait! Telling him when we came that that was the excitement for the day watching the route on my phone!!
