I feel you

I've walked past this natural landmark countless times and I see and feel something different here every time.

I walked in the early days of the first lockdown and paused here to call my late mum to talk her through taking her medications. She was recently widowed at the time and was in the early stages of Alzheimer's and dementia, so she was having to learn again to be independent, with support.

Her late husband had done everything for her (out of love)

At this stage in the walk I will have done the uphill slog up through East Farndon village, and then the walk evens out across vast open fields following the Jurassic Way long distance footpath on my way to Sibbertoft.

This walk has become a kind of pilgrimage that I've walked sometimes with loved ones, but often alone.

It gave me head space throughout those difficult days of Covid and brings me pleasure now, especially as it's a walk that I can do from my own doorstep.
