Nothing has changed Stay Home!

CV 19 The daily record 24.04.20.

32 days in lockdown.

We decided as we needed to go to the veg man in Bourne End to do a walk from the Spade Oak at Well end and across to Cock Marsh and back along the Thames. Lovely walk but too many people about for our liking. The Thames path gets very narrow in places, fortunately owners have opened up their gardens so people can dodge in and let others get past.

We walked from the National Trust car park by the Spade Oak across the railway line and along the river through the marina. We cross the river at the Railway Bridge and stop for a quick look down towards Marlow. It is very calm and still, a few geese and ducks swim about nothing else is moving on the river. We take the path through Cock marsh trying to avoid the dog walkers of which there are many. Hmm not such a good idea to come here. I don’t think it would have been better earlier either.

As we enter a wooded area the sound of bird song is immense I take a video to capture the perfect stillness and melodious sounds of the birds. Sadly this was an epic fail on my behalf as later I found out that I had videoed the inside of my back pocket as I walked along. Sorry about that.

After the walk we went to the veg man but the queue was too long, it was the same at the local Sainsbury’s so we gave up and went home.

I said I would record what adverts there were on TV. This is quite difficult in our house as we tend to record ITV and the master of the remote control wizzes back and forth through the adverts. Here is what I captured last night.
