I set off in light rain for a mid afternoon walk. The refreshing rain had enhanced nature’s vibrant colours. There were few people about giving me the perfect opportunity to find the access point that joins a pathway avoiding the busy areas (with people not respecting social distancing) that I normally walk along to get [...]

After many sunny April days the sun was tired and put its hat in a box to recharge its batteries.
