Lockdown Life

   So now we have been in lockdown for around three months  three months living in a very strange world, a world of fear, solitude and a real lack of freedom and socialising. For me I consider myself one of the lucky ones for I work at home and although like all of us the world around me has changed I'm still able to work as normal and to go cycling around the fens most mornings, giving me chance to watch the spring develope into summer. 

   I have noticed the huge amount of people who have started both cycling and walking around the local villages and I very much hope they continue to do so after lockdown is lifted. I see those families who have been to the cycle shop to obtain new bikes, I see the older folk who have dusted down that old bike that was left standing in the garage for the last decade and of course I spot those who have now realised how wonderful it is to find the time to travel the droves and fen roads rather than spending hours looking at their phone or laptop screens. All in all It can only be a good thing that people of all shapes, sizes and ages are now out there in the countryside and fresh air and lets hope that now they are all starting to notice the beautiful show that mother nature is directing for us, a show that they will now follow every year through every season.

   I would just like to say I hope you all keep safe while this nasy virus is still among us and while times continue to be difficult try to get out in the countryside near you, I'm sure you will be amazed at what you see, just take the time to watch and understand nature. Keep safe everybody, please keep safe.
