Today I headed off to the New Forest to see Carol. Atrocious journey down - busy motorways and torrential rain - but it was good to get there and see her. I arrived at 3pm and went for a walk into Brockenhurst to get some wine. It's always good to see a Donkey!

Today another walk in the woods. I don't seem to be doing much else at the moment but at least it's keeping me sane. Saw a beautiful swan on the river.

Another big gap with no posts! We are getting close to the election date in the USA and most polls have Biden well ahead. There is obvious nervousness about the result and some think that Trump will do better than the polls suggest and that he may be reluctant to relinquish power. I have little time for Biden but we can only hope he wins, at least he's talking about renewables and creating green jobs now.
Today I took the van out for a spin and it's on charge.

The row continues about local lockdowns - particularly Tier 3. The government has sowed confusion by changing the rules and local lockdowns aren't working. Much of the transmissions are coming through schools and universities. Cases are still rising and hospitals are filling. It's grim.
But Rio is enjoying his new basket.

Struggling to get my book published. Bloody formatting and proofreading!
Went for a walk around the village. Enjoying the Autumn colours.
Today it's my son Aaron's birthday.

Another walk with Peter, this time in Glossop. Great to stretch my legs and catch up. Managed to sneak in another crafty pint.

I've grown Chillies for years very successfully. This year nothing! I bought half a dozen different packets of seeds and the first two lots I planted didn't even germinate. I got some going in June - large plants with lots of flowers but still no Chillies. I've posted about this before but now I have one Chilli!

A mixed day, some showers but largely bright and sunny. Cool.
Another walk by the river......

Went into town today to sort out some new bricks for the fire. Lots of people wearing masks but social distancing wasn't great.

In the morning I went down to Greenbank Hub to meet Alison and Debbie to discuss the future of the garden there. It's not looking good but we are hoping to save it.
This afternoon I'll be attempting a few notes - but not necessarily in the right order!

The roofers came round today and finished the job. The van is now insured. Progress!
After a dreary start, the sun is out and there is a meteor shower tonight! We might even get the washing dry....
