Lockdown Walks Again!

So as a nation we find ourselves in lockdown again. My plans for work in the workshop or for anyone else have been shelved while I take over childcare and "home-schooling" again. 

This has also put a stop to my regular exercise routine where I run 5km every other day, which I've been doing from September - I figure now is the most important time to keep yourself in shape really. 

So I've been taking the kids for a long walk each afternoon this week (and will while the weather holds) and exploring the footpaths around here again. 

 The children are just as keen as me to get out there and leave the smallholding - think we'll all start to go a bit mad eventually otherwise! And every time it reminds us of what a beautiful place we live. 

Who else is adding walks to their regular daily routine?

Socially Distance

With the change to the lockdown rules we decided it was time to see my parents face to face again - at a safe distance. 

We've had lots of Zoom calls but it's not quite the same! So I mowed a patch in the bottom field, a circle big enough for us to all keep a safe distance!

Lockdown Walks

We've not left the smallholding much over the last 6 weeks. 

But the last few weeks we've started to take a few more walks into the surrounding countryside to learn the local footpaths a bit better.
