@MrsRF You did it!! Hope all is going well - we’re going to miss you though! Xxx

Having a break from the unpacking, the kids are showing us round the park across the road that they know so well 💚

Tweaked my usual morning walk and was rewarded by this glorious, unimpeded view of @Lumb_Bank. Waving across the valley!

@rachellucie @caldersidecook @Gagarin_Studio Wow, I’d love to take a proper look at some point 😊

@occulife Hopefully I’ll remember the route now!! Lovely to see you ☀️

@LandscapeStory @rachellucie @RogersSian It likes hanging out under our shed too!? Given the number of cats round here, it doesn’t seem like a great plan!

The government's secretive Covid contracts are heaping misery on Britain | George Monbiot | Opinion | The Guardian Horrifying expose of UK Test & Trace. Having just been ill, I can vouch for it being an utter shambles - and now I know why. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@occulife Ah I really enjoyed this - hope you do too 😊

Magical, much-needed Monday morning walk...

@occulife I might need to invest in some kit if I'm going to keep it up!

@occulife Wow!! Was it freezing? And did you feel great or awful afterwards??

@davidlmarsden Ha, you say that...!

@TaraGuha 😂I wish I had a dog so I could have something in my calendar!

It's a sad state of affairs when the only family member with any events marked on the family calendar is the dog!! Granted, it's for the groomer's and worming/flea tablets, but still...

@Anne77579229 Hahaha - glad it's not just us!! I had to check on my availability in October and November, which was rather depressing...! xxx

@TaraGuha Ah Tara I know how you feel. My diary includes .... Cat flea treatment ... cat worming treatment ... that’s about it!! Xxxx

@MrsRF Noooo!! Thank goodness you've found somewhere!

So who booked the holiday house for six nights starting tomorrow 🙀🙈🥺

Thrilled to have been awarded a Society of Authors grant - very grateful to @Soc_of_Authors and so nice to have some good news! #SoAGrants

@iolanthe Aw thanks Joc - it's the best thing I've done in four months!

@TaraGuha This is the best thing I have read all day.

I love swimming but am the biggest wimp ever when it comes to cold water. Today I swam in the North Sea in the rain. I shouted 'I am awesome!' and a puffin flew over my head.

@lizziebooks Ha, I have treated myself to a long sleeved swimsuit and am wondering whether it's worth investing in a wetsuit (ie will I keep it up?!) Hope you're having a wonderful hol xxx

@occulife Do it! I'm determined to keep it up 😊

@MrsRF With all holiday activities for kids presumably cancelled, what the hell are working parents supposed to do - just carry on neglecting kids for another couple of months...? 😕

Our school summer holidays are almost 8 weeks long this year 🥺
