Grey and drizzly today, and the blister is still very much there, but I set off with a bit of a spring as I was going to be back on a...

I’ve had everything a rest day should be today. I’ve been to the launderette, had an almond croissant at a cafe, booked some evening...

Last night I had some lovely conversations with people after my very difficult day. Tasha and I talked about whether it’s ok to be honest...

I had breakfast on my own this morning, my B and B landlady has only just taken over the business, and I think has another job too. So a...

Last night was interesting, watching a video of my women’s choir singing without me conducting.  They performed at a wedding yesterday,...

I spent the first part of the morning  in Nether Stowey with a lovely couple celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. As we were...

I avoided the shower this morning. I had a comedically stressful experience in it yesterday afternoon. In much the same way as a fancy...

A couple of things that I hadn’t spotted yesterday that are worth noting. First is that during the walk from Simonsbath to Exford I had...

Today started with a 2 and a half mile climb of over 800 feet. Which seemed a bit harsh as an opener, but as the Devonian countryside...

Another rubbish night, but this time nothing to do with anxiety. That seems to have receded a bit, thank goodness, with the aid of some...

Trouble with the Wi-Fi means I can’t upload the blog today - all is well and hopefully I’ll get it up tomorrow.

Last night from my window I could see concerning scenes. Various emergency services vehicles were attending at the beginning of the...
