Going back in the now


There's been so much noise in my Tumblr feed I struggled to filter it out with highly polarized political posts and that so I have been spending more time away from it, wrapped up walking through woodlands and that enjoying the company of birds, insects and mammals (and the odd Mamil crossing paths on two wheels).

As you may of gathered in England we are going back of sorts to staying mainly indoors to keep this Covid-19 under control and reduce the transmission rate that went a bit high last month so people where they can are being ask to work from home and to cut the number of contacts down to the bare minimum.

Schools, colleges and universities will be open for business and unlike last time most treatments will (in theory) be available from doctors and hospitals so it won't be as severe in some ways to what we had in March and April.

Another important difference is that the playgrounds and areas will be open with people requested not to play team games in them unlike last time so actually I can not only go through the park I can use the swings for instance which really matters for children.

It's hard enough to cope with this for adults and sometimes I think they ignore children's developmental and emotional needs in all this so being able to maintain routines that are fun, letting off steam matter hugely.

I'll be off now exploring nature, surround by leaves and acorns having fun in all this.
