Sunday lunch had been booked for a family lunch but sadly, Mum came down with Covid. It is still rearing its ugly head now and again, despite precautions and despite vaccinations. However, Roy and myself met with my son and his partner at the Crown near Avalon Marshes. The food was amazing, the staff were friendly, and we had a lovely catch up, followed by a walk around the marshes. We heard lots of birds but only swans and a buzzard were birds of any note.
I’m still absorbing the news of the death of a friend last weekend. Life is indeed short and I get quite panicky over how little time may be left. My father died at 85 yrs from dementia which, if genetic, terrifies me. Carpe diem indeed.
