Even just taking a walk at a local National Trust area is different. All the people are gone. Yes, there's the odd dog walker that we come across, but even they have time to stop and chat. No one seems to rush half as much as at the weekend.
We know from experience that weekends tend to be crammed full of trips out, extra classes of swimming and visiting family. Now we don't have to rush around, we have loads more time to do all the things we like. Finding a car parking space is easy. Getting a seat in a cafe is easy. Hardly any queues for anything, and oh how us Brits like to queue!
Today we managed a trip to a local beauty spot that is literally 10 minutes drive away in our camper van. We parked up on an empty car park, popped our roof and got out some sandwiches and poured soup into a saucepan to warm on our stove. After having a lovely lunch we went on an adventure.
I spent many an hour playing on the stepping stones at the Downs Banks as a child. Climbing trees was a special treat so when our big girl gets up in the branches I'm almost taken back twenty years.
