Crazy times when we could walk local short distances with your household, but sometimes one met fellow households walking the same route, welcoming a cheery wave. Note isolation walk 1 -little eaton/duffield bank and isolation walk 2-Little Eaton/great northern greenway/chester green/darley abbey
Or you find yourselves exploring the same northumberland beach.
We all tested out future VY walks..Bardsey island, Dunster Hill, the whole llyn penisular, snowden summit, great orme climbs, lake district peaks and we started going back to pubs for a pint. (except Welsh ones that were closed on Sundays) But first we had to order a substantial meal!
Meanwhile a few of our kids hosted small weddings whilst others awaited and welcomed their babies.
But festivals continued-on zoom or in ones garden. The jokes flowed and Howards found Septimus’s gravestone.c 1920
We all became fab gardeners, upskilled our photography techniques and craft creations. The whats app chat cameraderie was amazing from day 1…23/3/2020.
I remember a small break from lockdown in the summer of 2020 when new motorhomes were tested, new puppies purchased, we hosted a wedding for 30, glastonbury moved to ladycroft paddock, everyone competed for the largest courgette and the vegetable jokes started. It started with the songs for our not yet happened VY garden show..red courgette by quince, twist and sprout, swede caroline, pepper don’t peach by marrowdonna, silence is golden delicious, bohemian raspberry…we were already going crazy!
May 2020, hoping we could all hug again soon, we settled for a zoom quiz-hosted by Paul and Hazel and won by Rose and Martin! Despite lockdown we welcomed them as new VY members
Thank you all for the group support!! Not fogetting the VY playlist (april 2020)
