We had a morning free, so nipped down the road to Rufford Old Hall for a walk around the gardens and the lower level of the house which is the only parts open at the moment due to you know what…. It’s part of the National Trust so well looked after, and plenty of staff around to answer any questions…

Today we had a well overdue trip to the zoo. We haven’t been to Chester Zoo in almost 10yrs, a few things have remained the same, but lots have changed. Red Panda’s was high on Ryan’s list to see, but I think we got to see almost everything there, and I’m not surprised as our step count was almost 6…

An early start this morning to get up to Ingleton Waterfalls before the rush of walkers. We haven’t been here in a very long time.

Yes Eddie the Elf is back for another Christmas at the Dixon’s.. His door appeared a few days before the end of November. Now I know we have been getting ready for Christmas for about a month now here, but can you blame anyone for wanting something to focus on with the year we have all had…?

As week 11 passes by, I get the feeling that the whole planet is on a imploding trajectory. What was bad enough having to try and quarantine the whole population for what we thought might be a few weeks, and what seemed like 30% didn’t think it included them, and how we are going to see financial and job difficultes…
