Recently we had a holiday with our children.
It had been
postponed from Easter lockdown and rescheduled to September.
A whole week
in a lovely old house on the edge of Cardinham Woods in Cornwall.
Mainly, we went walking. In the evening we
cooked for one another and played games.
Over the
front garden flew ravens, buzzards, nuthatches and siskins.
On Bodmin
Moor we climbed Rough Tor and Brown Willy, the tallest hills in Cornwall,
scrambled up the granite tors which looked like craggy stacks of cheeses and explored
the nearby prehistoric settlements and stone circles through an atmospheric
mist.
At Fowey,
we clambered round St Catherine’s Castle and Nigel, Carenza and Pascoe went for
a swim at Readymoney Cove while I painted a watercolour.
It wasn’t a
perfect week as Perran had been relying on being able to work from home. But
the wi-fi simply wasn’t up to it, so he had to leave early.
Yet all
through those days of late summer sun and early Autumn mist, we knew this was a
week that had been snatched from the fire.
That once we returned home, the COVID levels would likely be rising and precautions enforced once more.
What we had
not realised was just how quickly the axe would fall.
Thank
heavens for golden memories and our photos which preserve those days in
amber.
