17 -24 November 2020 Isolation
We are still feeling lucky being out in the country side although we are feeling the strain with the amount of rain. Still managing to get out for exercise and watching the farmers at work putting up new fencing around their fields. Noticed the ram out with its rattle on.
The field is filling up with water again although it looks more like Swan Lake in this picture.
We have received our latest update picture from our friends in Keswick on the progress of the Threlkeld cycle path see below.
14 – 16 November 2020 Isolation
Still enjoying ourselves in the countryside on our walk today spotted what I think is a rare version of Crown of thorns coral not usually found down farm tracks I have seen it before while diving in The Indian Ocean whilst suffering from Narcosis.

4 – 13 November 2020 Isolation
We have moved back into Isolation again in the countryside for a while as traveling to Spain is out of the question this winter. We have had to cancel our trip to Portsmouth for a damp test and our habitation test. We have had a lovely bonfire and managed to contribute with all the wood from the greenhouse we took down at our house.
Its years since we had a sparkler in our hands. Have started running again this week and building up speed and distance while keeping an eye on blood pressure but still in the normal band. Trying to remove the table in the motorhome as the bolts on the support have worked loose and the stem wobbles a small problem is how to loosen the glue sticking it to the floor but hay ho! I like a challenge. Had a couple of runs again and some long walks with M and B… Had a great drawing competition with B granddaughter see pictures.
Still running and long walks. Managed to repair the table in the van we managed to loosen the glue by using Acetone (nail varnish remover) with the help of a wallpaper scraper a counter sunk screw had worked loose and was jamming the rotary movement tightened up and sealed round the newly fitted table with PVA.
Next job was to wash the roof we are lucky the builders put up a small section of scaffolding for us so all done in 30 mins FAB thanks guys.
