2020 WALKS

2020 holds the prospect of getting out for walks regularly once again. However it is tinged with great sadness, as the reason for this is that Dad no longer has to look after our dear Uncle Brian, following his sudden death in September last year. We and all the Hug miss him greatly, but none more so than Dad. We recognise that it will take a long time for Dad to get over this and so we must be understanding about the kind of walks we do. We would like to be out on our beloved Lakeland Fells again, especially for our pal Little Eric's sake, to bag some of the Wainwrights and Birketts that for him are still outstanding. We will just have to see. We miss our dear Uncle Brian everyday, but he lives on forever in our hearts.


Reviewing the year, who could have envisaged the Covid virus that would cause such havoc and terrible loss of life amongst the humans. Thankfully our Dad did not succumb. We fully understood the restrictions he faced, so we can only say a huge thank you that he took us on so many walks. All this while coping with the isolation due to the lockdowns. That was very hard for Dad, made worse by the added loneliness due to the death of our dear Uncle Brian, who Dad, we and all the Hug miss more every single day.
