Sitting and Waiting

Curbar Edge
The journey back to the UK was pretty uneventful, a steady ride across Spain, a long rough crossing of Biscay then a night-time sprint back to quarantine in Sheffield. We did our 10 days staying close to home, then the day after we were 'released' we drove over to the Sheffield Arena and got out first dose of the Oxford AstraZenica vaccine. Sherri had a stiff arm for a couple of days - I was right as rain. Eleven weeks until we get the booster, but our protection should be kicking in about now (10 days since we had the jab) and in another 10 we should be safe enough to get back to a bit more normality. Travel is not going to be possible for quite a while but already some countries have said they will welcome vaccinated travellers - Greece and Portugal for starters - that will do us!

Sheffield parks - heaving!

One of our best selling books, Eastern Grit, will probably sell out within the next 18 months so we would have needed to be back in the UK to crack on with refreshing it even without the virus. That has given us plenty of reasons to get our exercise out in the Peak - though always avoiding people, and it has to be said - it is pretty damn busy out there.

I can't recall the last time we spent an Easter in the UK but needs must!
