Day 27:

It's so bizarre how being outside of the house just feels wrong at the moment. That awkward vibe in the air is making me feel uneasy at times when we go for our daily allotted hour walk. Because of this (and the fact that everyone seems to go out late afternoon) we have started taking our walk first thing. This morning we were up bright and early so we headed out at 7:30 for a stomp around the woodland that we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep. There's barely anyone around at this time of the morning and the people we do see are the same ones every day, who always say hi and are respectful of the social distancing. Going out this early is such a nice start to the day and as the sun comes through the trees along the way, the birds tweeting and the sheep happily baaing in the fields make it a really peaceful hour to get you in a decent headspace for the day.
