Shrouded in cloud the last few days but not cold. The atmosphere was thick enough to slice this afternoon, the colours in the woods intensified against the grey backdrop, the scents seemingly hanging in the air all around us and the birdsong amplified in the stillness.
Water droplets weighted down the tree branches (sending the occasional shower down the back of the neck as we ducked under) and jewelled the spidery dream-catchers.

As we left the woods the cloud came down and round us even lower and thicker and it looks set to be hanging about for a few days yet. Life in a Tupperware box as someone said once.


Oh and a birthday yesterday - nearly forgot....ha ha....sign of old age obviously. Anyway, a good time was had by all (3 in total plus 2 dogs) despite the exigencies of Lockdown. Simple pleasures including an energetic workout, a(home) hair trim, wine, strawberries and Magnums. Getting older definitely better than the alternative.
