Dear Rambler,
I wonder what day it is? Bread and milk being delivered tomorrow, So it must be Wednesday today. The day after that my fellow choir singers meet together on Zoom. Wednesday's YouTube PE lesson is on balance and upper body strength. This lock down has its down sides but seeing the robins use the garden feeder seeds to feed the newly hatched is something that usually passes me by in normal times. So many different birds visiting from fat pigeons to sparrows. Fascinating. Then I pound up and down the garden to improve my walking. We live in different times because of an aggressive virus we cannot see. And we think of all those who have passed on, and the wonderful NHS and care staff. We live from week to week keeping physical distance and looking forward to our regular walks starting again.
Our memories, of pleasant walks in Spring sunshine, and occasional exceedingly wet and windy days on some residential holidays, are part of our collective bank of experiences which strengthen us as a group. Although my ill-health has sadly meant missing walks over the past two years, I feel I am getting better and the medical experts agree. I miss the camaraderie of being together. Hope that we will soon be back to visiting the countryside keeps me going and I trust it is the same for you. We will keep you in touch with advice from Head Office as soon as it changes.
I hope you are keeping well despite the lock down. Do contact one of us (phone numbers in our previous regular newsletters) if you need any help
Best wishes
