Mirren 3rd August It's been Common Riding here. Or it should have been. People did an amazing job trying to keep the spirit alive with virtual Fancy Dress and family groups walking the rides. Very quiet though which is probably a good thing for people's livers!! It's amazing how humans forget about social distancing after a few drinks. Personally it never bothers me about social distancing. I'm social when I want to be and distance most of the time. Things are changing though. Ewen is getting back to work and schools go back next week and Pam thinks she might be needed for a while. I might be on my own?? Peace and quiet but I might have to get up for a drink because there won't be anyone to fetch me one. I have become quite lazy. The autumn is coming and the mornings here have been beautiful. They've been a bit damp though. Need to dry our boots. Lovely walks.
