I made a little video of my recent walk, it's only about a minute but gives you an idea of the walk and the views.
I'd be really grateful to anyone who watches it if you subscribe to my channel as well. 😀

My family’s business relies on tourism. I fear after scenes from yesterday at many beaches our hopes for 4th July opening may now well be in jeopardy. Not sure what else to say. On a positive note we had a lovely lockdown birthday (my daughter was 14). - cake pic in my story. .

Devon is basking in half term sunshine. I now realise how manic life was with my teens before lockdown- school runs, clubs, weekend plans. Everyday we were rushing, rushing to get places, rushing to cook and eat. 7am alarm and repeat. My husband told me this week I’m less annoying now! Sadly I agree, I can’t just blame that low level stress on my midlife hormones! This beautiful view is a reminder to sit and appreciate the simple things and work out how to make life less manic in September. .

Wow, it’s nearly the end of May. I’m amazed how fast the weeks are going even when we’re not rushing around. I need ideas for a Zoom birthday party for my youngest teen and where to shop for those little extra presents she loves to open when so many shops are closed.... This week we will mainly be still enjoying our local woods where it’s nice and quiet, I’ve no plans to head to the beach just yet. How about you? .

Just a short walk with my mum this afternoon with glorious views of the sea at Sidmouth round Connaught Gardens. Here’s the iconic Jacobs Ladder, well known by many locals and views from the other directions. It was a lovely little escape in the sunshine. Where have you been that you’ve missed? .

I’ve never written a poem before but this came to me while I was starting to wake up one morning- it was weird because I had to make myself go back to sleep to remember what I had thought of. Anyone else had something similar?
Who would have thought
The treadmill could stop
The relentless routine
Life governed by the clock

Waking with the light
There’s more time to sleep
But strange dreams come
By day we relax and eat

We hear the birds in song
There’s time to smell the flowers
We enjoy one long walk
But we’ve got hours and hours

So here we are again
Sat dutifully at home
No rushing for the bus
Doing our best at being alone

Sheltered on our island
We thought the storm would pass
Instead we’ve been battered
Its memories and impact will last

Clare 😊

Happy to walk in the sunshine this morning even if

Happy to walk in the sunshine this morning even if it was a bit chilly, at least that wind has passed by. I’m grateful for where I live but for everyone with children it’s going to be a challenge having them home for another four months.
In other news I’ve started reading the Salt Path (very moving). I really fancy exploring the South West Coast Path other than East Devon, what are your favourite parts if you’re lucky enough to have walked some of it? .
