Day 11 — Stay Home, Stay Healthy!

This was from my last bike ride a week ago of this little cabin out back of us. Now our ground is covered with snow and ice and the bike is put away.
We just enjoyed an extra long bank holiday weekend with an additional day off working from home and after 9 loooong weeks not leaving home we decided it was time for us to have a taste of the good ol' outside world again. Yesterday we picked on of our past favourite walks from Venford reservoir up to Bench Tor. We started very early to avoid as many other people as possible and had no problem with social distancing for the entire trip. On our way towards the Dart valley nature reserve I took a short detour to find the popular Venford falls. I managed to slip and submerge one boot fully into the brook but that was worth it once I made it down to the lovely spot of the twin falls.
Through this lockdown phase, I have had to call off three trips to my Himalayas, another is in June.....never know when will I be in the mountains....carrying a dream for something sooner...

We are being as protective of each other, especially my parents right now. We came up with our version of a tailgate party. Each of us brings our own food, dinnerware, and drinks. Even our own chairs. We meet up in my parents field and visit spaced apart. Sometimes we share a little from a distance.
