Still gloomy but great to get out

Big signs on the roads. “Stay home. Only essential travel.”

I reckon driving a few miles to walk and appreciate the natural world is “essential travel.”

I’m still resentful about gyms closing. I’m not opposed to trying to beat the virus, of course, but proper social distancing, Covid hygiene in gyms and sports centres, and walking in the open air in quiet places is not going to be super spreading.

And we might stay sane.

Fradley Junction Nature Reserve in the gloom and increasing drizzle is pretty essential in my book.

And Nigella’s loaf is fabulous......
