I have regaled you all in previous blogs with my exercise routine during lockdown. One day it is a decent bike ride the other is usually Clare and I walking ( with my binoculars around my neck). I went further today on the bike \u00a0(well away from people) and I loved going through the woodland between Bisley (a lovely Cotswold Village) and Sapperton. The narrow road went under a marvellous canopy of fresh light green leaf covered branches with bluebells and wild garlic covering the woodland floor. I love British woodland! It certainly was good for morale!!!!<\/p>\n

No St Helena writing today-thanks for the positive comments. More tomorrow hopefully. I have included some pictures of yours truly on the island just to prove I was there. One is on battlements of the main fort, the other is on the fortified wall overlooking the sea. Finally there was some relaxation while I was on the island and there were was only really a couple of \u00a0places to swim (this one involved an \u00a0hours walk down Lemon Valley)-you entered the water via the rocks and then scrambled up them to get out! By the time you walked back up you were jiggered!<\/p>\n
