Yesterday, 2nd February
Today, Wednesday 3rd February
Yesterday morning, the promised snow had fallen overnight leaving around leaving around five inches of the “white stuff” everywhere.
Since the weekend, I have taken to resuming walking albeit for short distances to begin with. Today, I walked along roads which did not exist this time last year, where new houses are being constructed. While many homes are in the early stages of construction, many now complete are already occupied.
It has been a lovely day today, not overly cold, no rain, but a continuing build-up of leadened skies as the afternoon progressed. Tonight, I felt like going out again. A letter needed posting and the walk to the post box was most pleasant, the streets dark and quiet, save for the occasional car or van on the main road.
Yesterday, the T.V. News announced the sad death of Captain Tom Moore, the centenarian who just before his hundredth birthday last year set out to raise £1,000 for N.H.S. charities by walking 100 lengths of his garden in Bedfordshire. This event caught the imagination of a country in a pandemic. Funds raised in excess of £32,000,000, propelled the now knighted Sir Tom to “national treasure” status.
This morning, I contacted my travel agent in Ipswich to confirm that my voyage in June was still taking place. So far, so good. I do have something to look forward to.
