How lucky we are every morning to wake up to this beautiful view. To gauge the weather, to watch the birds fly by and to see the horses and sheep in the fields in the distance.
Then I tune into the sounds, bird song, the rustle of the trees, a ticking clock, the low sound of voices from the telly in the next room, sometimes the rain on the velux window in the bathroom. All a gentle comfort.
Awh well ! On the agenda today. A cuppa and a read of my book before I get up. Then shower, porridge & berries for breakfast and another cup of tea before hitting the office to sort out emails, post and company admin.
Off to the post office later and to market for fruit, veg, cheese and ham. Hope the weather is dry when we get back so we can put out our “Behind the garden gate” display and the treats for the kiddies and dogs.
It’s a quick walk round the block now before settling in for an evening with Monty Don on telly, a catch up on today’s Covid19 news and whatever else there is to offer.
But today there’s one other sound that’s appeared. Its the rumble of traffic on the main road below us. Not something I’ve heard for many weeks. The volume of cars out there must be increasing as people return to work.
Bit of a mixed blessing really, it means that we are losing the peace of the enforced lockdown and soon we will return to the madness of what was life before all this.

Ive been going in my studio this last couple of afternoons messing about with fabric scraps, machine stitching them together and attaching them to twigs. I find stitching the little pieces gives me something to focus on. I’m going to end up with a wall full of textile hangings when I’ve finished.

We’ve had Alexa playing 50’s music this afternoon and been acting the goat making daft a video again which I’ve posted on my Instagram account.
I’m taking inspiration from a couple of friends of mine who are doing a lockdown diary over on their blogs. Normally I write my thoughts in a journal but I may give blogging a try as well. It’s more visual. We are all part of what will be a big piece of history and each person will have a different tale to tell in how they deal with it. So to me it’s important to get it on paper or screen. Even if it’s only a word or line a day.

Have a good weekend
And stay safe and alert
It's lovely to catch up with what you've been doing during lockdown, Lynn. Even with the increased traffic, I do think it's a lot quieter where you are. We've seen an increase in traffic too now that a lot of people are returning to their jobs. Life goes on and all that, but I'm not sure if it's not too early. I've loved seeing your Behind the Garden Gate displays, and your twigs and fabric scraps displays are gorgeous. Oh, and I loved seeing you and the welder's antics over on Instagram! Keep well, you two lovely people xxx P.S. Thanks for the shout out :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, lovely, comforting blog entry. Thank you, Lynn.xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely read, Lynn! Keep the online posts going, I love reading about the every day things we're all doing during lockdown.
ReplyDeleteYour machine stitched patchwork is absolutely gorgeous and that little boy admiring you display is precious. We've noticed traffic noise for the first time in ages over the weekend, it seems very odd after weeks of silence.
Love you in green, that gorgeous fairisle jumper and that 1960s frock as so pretty! xxx
