Cotswold new way of living.

There are quite a few holiday cottages around here and although people have been asked to stay home (mostly London and Greater London) we know they haven’t. It is still easy enough to keep your 2 metre distance if you are savvy about the local paths. This is just 5 minute walk from my house.

There is a little gate in between the houses that opens out to this.

It is a public footpath that says Burford 2 miles. You can walk over the rolling hills away from the main road. It is quite hidden so not everyone realises the gate isn’t someone’s garden. It was so peaceful. We saw red kites and heard bird song. The blue skies and sunshine makes our daily exercise joyful. 

I haven’t been to the shops for 8 days and think we can stretch another 2. I feel for people who are living alone. I hope all this makes us appreciate how lucky we have been to have freedom to go where we like and buy what we like. I think life might change a bit after this and we will be more mindful of what we have and how lucky most of us are.
