Rowlands fair has descended into the town center for the next 2 weeks, so it’s an ‘outside migraine’ endless same pointless beat of outdated so called music, screaming, yelling, drunken singing, drunken yelling, high pitch rides, and any grockles around in town probably going on all the over priced rides. Strangely enough, not many of the locals using it, but it’s passed it’s novelty now having it here every year for probably the last 20 years. It’s unusually warm here so you have to have the windows open because we don’t have AC living in the UK or at least we don’t because we’re not rich. We can’t even put double glazing in our windows because our house is stupidly ‘listed’ for no apparent reason. The building next door is older and is not listed.

This morning we went for a walk in the local forest, once a week I give Ellie a free run off the lead and harness so she can go crazy and get out all the energy. We met a couple of dogs along the way but they weren’t her size so she didn’t play chase like she usually does.

I love walking in the forest, the bouncy red earth underneath my feet with the occasional small pine-cone that’s blown off the tree before it’s gotten to a decent size, the smell of fir, the rustling almost musical leaves, black silhouetted trees standing tall and filtering the white light that comes down from a blank page sky, little birds chirping at varying intervals and volumes. Magical, I feel close to God there and it’s the most peaceful place I know, even more so than my home, my room. It over looks the sea, which I can’t see, but I always ask if my parents can see it, most of the time it’s to misty but today they could see it, and even sand banks, so the tide must have been out a fair way!.

Pizza night tonight.
