With a potentially long stretch of furlough ahead of me, we decided to head back to my parents for a stint in the countryside. We packed up the car with tomato plants and the lettuces and headed off for some time away from the hot city and crowded parks. Ian is still working so set up camp at home and I spent time cooking and enjoying having more space and lots of garden to play with. We explored new walking routes and even walked the majority of the Malvern Hills and climbed Bredon Hill. We even tried wild swimming in the River Avon on one particularly hot evening. It was all pretty idyllic.
A good thing to have come from this global pandemic has been the confirmation that we want to move out of London in the near-ish future and return to the countryside. I think we've both realised that we're country mice - though London will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
