1 January 2021 WOW a new year
A difficult drive over due to icy road conditions and being forced to take a detour on narrow roads due to an 8 car pile up. A picture of a wonderful present from our very gifted friend of a hand made vase with one layer round the vase of £5 pound notes I have removed them today and rebuilt the vase gosh it must have taken a while to build. Had a good walk this morning round one of the fields with our friend checking the sheep.

Once again the campsite is closing so our time in Keswick is cut short. The campsite this morning is like an ice rink as it has rained overnight then frozen over but the wardens are now out sanding. We don’t have far to travel this morning to our home for the next few months so no rush to leave as ever body started leaving from 0730 and will wait while the roads get better. So out with the wellies again and walking around on the farm lonnings and the beach with nothing around us but birds, owls sheep, cows, foxes and deer we are so lucky.

The campsite we are on is not very busy due to travel restrictions. The weather is very cold and we are using both gas and electricity heating to avoid our boiler dumping its water it has an auto drain system that ditches the water tank/boiler at -2 to avoid damage. The temp over Thursday night was -8 shops open again today so got some new socks for our wellies then had a couple of walkabouts before the rain arrived.

Still enjoying our walks down the farm tracks and have started walking along the beach as well we do so love the sea. Noticed all the new fencing, dyke repairs and the new hedges been planted and the lonning getting muddier. Noticed on the burnt out pile of the old November the 5th bonfire an old tin and have decided to make it my new project as it is in a horrible state but will turn into something good?
Noticed some fab fungi on a tree or is it an (Alien)

Still keeping nice and fit with lots of walking in the countryside. A lovely frosty morning today so a walk down to the sea front and onto the beach. Spotted some rock fish in a pool WOW.
On the way back some some lovely ice creatures but my pocket only has a few eyes in it.
Good job we have bought some wellies.

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.
