Small steps
Good morning. Did you take a look at Bjorn's video yesterday? He explains in another video that he spent many years as a therapist, and now is a novelist. A wise man.Today we are allowed to spend more time outside, we can travel to go somewhere else to walk. I can get in my car and drive to another place. I am happy with that. It means that I have more choice. This small concession has lifted the black cloud that was hanging over me. I'm not sure how much longer I could have gone on for, limited to the confines of my village and local area.
This doesn't mean that I will be flitting about here there and everywhere, oh no. I shall be thinking about where I can go to avoid people. I have already done a lot of the touristy places, so I know where everyone else will be heading for. I will not be joining them.
I won't be venturing onto packed beaches just because the sun is out. I will not be joining the queues to trek, or shuffle, up Snowdon. I shall be looking for out of the way places where there is little chance that I will be bumping into anyone. When people ask me if I have done the 'Coast to Coast', or the 'Pennine Way', I have always answered, no thanks, they are like the M1 motorways of long distance paths. I don't follow the sheep, I make up my own routes.
I won't be setting off in every direction in my car, every day. I still like being at home, it's all about balance. Being able to go out if I want to.
Social distancing will stay with me, I don't want to be close to strangers. I have a bubble of friends which I am happy with. A simple life means a lot less hassle. I don't eat out, don't go to pubs, don't go to large gatherings, parties, shows, concerts. Eventually I might want to visit an art gallery, a library, or a craft fair, but I will be taking the venue into consideration. Preference being given to outdoor events.
Yesterday I made a diversion from my regular five mile route just outside the village. I walked further along the river bank, but then came to a dead end at the Industrial Estate. I thought I might. I did it a few years ago when I found a route around the perimeter, but this is no longer accessible due to the farmer ploughing right up the edge of the field. So I doubled back and took the track past the farmhouse and re joined the normal route. When I got back I checked the mileage on Bikehike.co.uk and found I had done seven miles instead of the usual five. It made a nice change to go a different way.
Will I go out today? I want to post a parcel this morning, then I'll think about what to do next. It's a tad chilly, and I want to get on with the weaving, so maybe I'll save a car trip for another day. Will you be spreading your wings as you get more freedoms, or are you happy to make small alterations to your routine and see how it all pans out?
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.
