I'm not going out for at least 4 weeks, why, well, I am pension age and I suffered from the STROKE. It does me no good. Bloody virus. So, I have a few pictures from my past.
Photographed at Stone Works, Cannop Ponds, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershite, Britian.

Hi Bob. Sorry not to have visited for a while - Lindsay and I have been in the Isles of Scilly for a while. I was sure that I'd find that you were in total self-isolation because of the virus. When we came back, we immediately put ourselves into total self-isolation too, mainly because of my wife's health. The biggest problem has been trying to find someone to deliver basic food requirements as the supermarkets in this area have around a three week waiting list for deliveries.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to see that you are able to keep us entertained by dipping into your magic bag for some wonderful photos again. A bit of gris-gris from Dr John and all will be fine!
Take very good care, and stay safe, my friend - - - Richard
Hi Richard
