This time last week, we were walking in Benacre, (as others were bumper to bumper in Snowdon, and escaping to Scotland and the Lakes). Trump imitation is in high production. An advertisement ridicules Trumps response to CORVID 19 by juxtaposing quotes from Trump with a graph that traces the exponential growth of coronavirus cases. I… Continue reading Coronavirus lockdown week 2 – Saturday /Sunday

Coronavirus lockdown week 1 Monday
Walk with Sara at Walberswick, a good route away from the sea with plenty of space for us to walk with healthy 2 meter separation. She is anxious. Protecting Jeremy. Watching news. Anticipating events as they fall. Of course, this is why we love each other, one of us skeptical to the others glass half… Continue reading Coronavirus lockdown week 1 Monday
Social Distanced Vernal Equinox (March 20)

Last year to Wales and Michael's bicycle past and now to Norfolk and my childhood past. Memories come round corners unexpectedly and I had not prepared or been prepared for this. … Continue reading Brancaster for Michael’s 85
Peter Hemy
Finally Tori and I sat down and watched TV. After all the build up and ritual of a death, we put our metaphoric feet up, and caught up on the outside world news, Channel 4 naturally. They reported on a campaign to preserve a remarkable railway tunnel under a hill (to convert to a cycle… Continue reading Peter Hemy
A gift of Paris from Michael
The gift began with drinks at Peter Pennington's, Michael's school friend recently found to be living near by in Woodbridge. A gentle man, with an eye for detail and elephant memory of those past years in Birkenhead grammar school. The Mayor arrived in full regalia, with politics on our minds (3 days to the December… Continue reading A gift of Paris from Michael
