It’s been
two months since I wrote my last reflection. It’s been a busy time settling
into our new home (a constant matter of two steps forward and one back), but
we’re gradually ‘getting there’. We’re constantly aware that we haven’t
actually downsized enough to fit into number17! We probably still need to get
rid of some books; we have far too many empty plastic boxes left over; the
kitchen is too small (and not as well designed storage-wise; lots of framed
pictures and not enough wallspace to hang them…
We’re about
to have a few days away in Lancashire (2 days in Lytham, followed by 2 days
with Alice+Dave in Buckshaw). It’ll obviously involve several train journeys
and, given our recent experiences of high proportions of people on public
transport NOT wearing face masks, it’s something that really concerns us. Yes,
we’ve been double-vaccinated and boostered but, nevertheless, with weekly Covid
cases and deaths beginning to rise again in quite high numbers, it makes both
of us feel very uneasy (and vulnerable). In some ways, it would be easy to take
the cautious option and cancel our plans, but (significantly) we haven’t seen
our Lancashire grandchildren for TWO whole years and we haven’t had a holiday
since our time in Skipton – again, just over two years ago. So, we’ll go… and
just be as careful as possible.
