Herefordshire Week 058: Tuesday 02 – Monday 08 February 2021

First daffs. A lot of wood wrangling. Grumpy grief.


A good start to the weeknotes week, with a walk down to the Abbey and back with Phil first thing on Tuesday – spotting a deer below Stockley Coppice. Then out into the garden to haul wood down to the bonfire for the rest of the morning, Got through the hazelnut tree main limbs (firewood to be) and two piles of apple prunings (bonfiring to be).

The buzzard is still visiting most mornings, looking for worms etc down by the willow stump, which we can see from our bathroom without scaring it off. Sometimes it perches on Jean’s wisteria trellis, just behind the yew tree, or on a bare branch of the gangly bush behind the coppiced hazelnut. Not managed to get quick enough to get a photo before s/he flies off.

There are yellowy-green buds on the daffs in the garden by the bird feeder tree and plenty more green shoots coming up through the grass. Having to be very careful not to walk on them – every now and then there’s an ominous crunch!

Heading out on Sat to relocate the apple tree prunings to the quarry, I spotted the first of the small daffs by the train is in bloom. And we have a primrose in the orchard. Spring is here!

As is Storm Darcy – not quite the Beast from the East of 2018, but definitely cold, cold, cold – and quite a wind chill. No snow, apart from the occasional stray flake.

I was snow shoeing in Northern Italy / Southern France when the 2018 BftE hit. Great snow, great trip! Talking of trips, I caught up with Val on Saturday evening and she’s hopeful of getting to Nepal in November, although where will depend on their COVID and tourism recovery circs. She’s written off Peru this summer.


Another winter lockdown special social week – VWW Weds, Family Zoom Thurs, chat with Tom and Jo Fri, Val sat, Carl Sunday and Jane Monday. As an introvert, I find the idea of calls / Zooms tiring, but they’re usually OK. One to one is easier, more than that and I unconsciously slip into host mode. Phone is better than Zoom too – don’t have to think about my facial expressions and where best to sit to use the tech.


Very, very grumpy on Friday morning. Phil soaked up a lot of anger and frustration. On top  of a baseline of grief and the intense work week, I added two large chunks of admin which I knew would be annoying to complete, and so they were.

Setting up the LED / Just Giving Campaign page for Just Giving Campaign page for Val’s Huayhuash Circuit Challenge  took over an hour of trying to upload the mandatory campaign image using Safari and Chrome on my Mac, and my work laptop too – Chrome and Edge. NO joy anywhere. Eventually got Phil to try on his Mac. Success. I suspect it’s ad block settings on my mac and security settings on my work laptop.  Creating the blogpost on the website was quicker: Val’s Huayhuash Circuit Challenge 2021.

I then embarked on my Nth attempt to complete Scottish Powers FIT change of ownership form. MPANs, MCSs, FITs, Export Meters, Import Meters…. WHAT DO THEY ALL MEAN??? Having emailed Scottish Power to ask, all I got back was they have two MCS extensions on record for here. No explanation as to what these two new numbers actually were. I eventually worked out that the “record” must be dad’s. Fortunately dad has a very organised filing system and had already given me the papers relating to the installation here – where I spotted one of the MCS numbers on an MCS Certificate (who knew?) and when dad dug out the MCS certificate for Dinedor, lo and behold, there was the second number. Both certificates show the address, so why SP can’t see that they’re different installations is beyond me.

Felt better after doing the Cockyard Circuit in the afternoon, and chatting with Tom and Jo before we tucked into the second of the reduced M&S pizzas for dinner. 89p – down from £5.50!!! Loosemores love a bargain. Phil’s back on Friday Pizza Duty next week.


Spent Saturday outside dragging more tree cuttings down to the bonfire. Another grey day.

Sunday morning saw me spend another happy couple of hours moving / lopping the walnut tree trimmings. Cold, but sheltered. Then back inside for elevenses – coffee and stollen bites sat by the log stove.

A quick walk with Phil down to the Abbey and back before lunch, then an afternoon sat by the fire reading, chatting with Carl and a bit of online shopping – we’ve treated ourselves to winter gardening gloves (Ejendals Tegera 295 Waterproof Thermal Work Gloves), roofing panels to repair the log shed, a boiler suit (lugging lopped branches usually means my clothes get muddy / greeny) and are pondering treating ourselves to a small chainsaw / pruner…. Peeled 8 bulbs of our Christmas garlic plait to freeze. Who knew you could do that? Domestic bliss.

Bonfire wood piles.....

Monday – another cold day. Pottered inside the morning. Big shop and library click&collect in the afternoon. A bit of snow, and a cold week ahead:

I listen to Radio 3’s The Essay series, and they’ve just had a week of essays called “Odes to Essex”. They’re only 15 mins each.

Metropolitan Essex: Singer-songwriter Billy Bragg on the borderland between London and Essex that fuelled his childhood imagination.

Washed Up in Essex: In the next in a series exploring the joys of Essex, AL Kennedy takes on a watery journey through the rivers, mudflats and reedbeds of the county she calls home.

The Refusal of Place: Celebrating the joys of Essex, surely the most misunderstood of counties, writer Lavinia Greenlaw takes us back to the formative landscape of her childhood.

Brightening from the East: In the next in a series celebrating the joys of Essex, surely the most maligned of counties, social historian Ken Worpole explores Essex as a place of retreat and refuge.

The Essex Way: In the last programme in a series celebrating the joys of Essex, surely the most maligned of counties, writer Gillian Darley explores the unsung delights of Mid Essex.

I’m not sure we’ll even manage to get to WON this summer.


TV:  The Serpent. Grand DesignsThis Farming Life (would love a series set in the Welsh Marches). Plus next episodes from BBC Four’s Winter Walks and Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America and Film 4’s American Animals.

Podcasts: The History of England, History Extra, In Our Time and David Tennant Does a Podcast With….

Herefordshire Week 057: Tuesday 26 January – Monday 01 February 2021

More spring flowers. First lambs. RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.

Lessons in lighting the log stove: Sometimes it only needs 1 match, but sometimes it takes 10. Or more…

Trees trimmed – and a delay in publishing this week’s post due to spending a dry Tuesday morning stacking the hazelnut’s bigger branches for firewood and moving the prunings to the quarry.


After starting off the day with a sleety walk to Kerrys Gate to catch the post, I spent a frustrating morning on Tuesday trying to work out how to complete Scottish Power’s “correct form” (not the one they link to from the FAQs and tell you to complete, Oh no.) for transferring the payments for the solar panels on the roof to us.

Finished the work week on Thursday a bit too frazzled, cursing those American colleagues who seem oblivious to time zones and part time work patterns.


Friday – morning blues, despite the sun. Felt a bit better after walking to Kerrys Gate and back. Spent the rest of the morning confined to barracks waiting for a GP phone appointment, so cleared the rose bed. A good morning’s work. Very therapeutic.

Spring flowering continues: cyclamen, double snow drops, aconites, daffs – with a hint of yellow at the bud, bluebell leaves in the orchard dell, catkins on the hazelnut trees, camellia bud – the first hint of pink!

Daffs - with a hint of yellow at the bud....
Daffs – with a hint of yellow at the bud….

Did the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch over lunch, results were as follows:

Long tailed tit – 7
Blue tit – 4
Great tit – 4
Coal tit – 2
Robin – 1
Chaffinch – 1
Blackbird – 1
Nuthatch – 1
Greater spotted woodpecker – 1
Pheasant – 1

We usually see more chaffinches and blackbirds, and 2 woodpeckers isn’t uncommon, ditto for robins. Totally forgot to include the rooks in the trees in the sheep field.

So yes, we’ve won over the long tailed tits… it took them a year to discover the bird feeders, but now there is No Stopping Them! They do bully the blue tits though.

Dad called round just after lunch for a socially distanced drop off of more bags of sand for the greenhouse base, and to unearth some chainsaw “things” from the garage. Spent the rest of the afternoon reading in the lounge, with an early evening FaceTime with Friends.

Bargain M&S pizza for dinner – Phil got a week off.


Managed to log into the LED facebook account surprisingly easily on Saturday morning, which meant I was able to catch up on posts and to announce “Val’s Huayhuash Circuit Challenge”, the sponsored walk and climb LED is running to in February and March. A good call with Carl rounded off the morning, and I spent the afternoon reading in the lounge, after finally managing to light the log stove.

Cold overnight and wet first thing on Sunday – we had a buzzard rootling around in the garden down by the willow stump. It seemed to be keen on the worms surfacing after all that rain. They roost / live in the woods over the road, and we see them flying quite often. But it’s the first time I’ve seen one spend this long in the garden. Amazing!

Spent the morning by the log stove (lit with only 1 match) accompanied by coffee and the LRB, and then a lovely Zoom with Emma. Lots to catch up on.

Early afternoon we did the Bacton Square in the snow then back to the log stove and reading.

Out on our walk, I’d spotted the first wild garlic leaves coming up alongside the road in Bacton, which is where we picked loads last year. I remember it being one of those occasions when I realised I was starting to feel we’d got past The Move and we’re starting to actually live here.


Monday. Grey day and cold, but fine for a long morning walk to Ewyas Harold and back: Abbey Dore – Cwm Hill – Tremorithic Road – Mill Lane – the Old Trout Inn – Dulas. Two Spring 2021 firsts en route: lambs and primroses. Narcissi coming up in the Dulas churchyard, but no buds yet.

Richard, who does the bigger jobs in the garden, came for most of the day and cut back / pruned some of the trees, reducing the height of the walnut the gets in the way of the Skirrid view (although it stayed too grey to be able to check that!), removing the smaller main branch of the big tree down by mower turn, pruning the apple trees and the pear tree, and taking the last of the bigger branches off the still nameless “green shrub”. He also coppiced the hazelnut bush.

So I’ve now got even more wood to bonfire. Looking forward to that when we get a dry spell, maybe this weekend.


TV: Finished off The Newsroom, series 3, and started The Serpent. Much darker fare. Another Friday night Grand Designs but still lacking This Farming Life.

Podcasts: The History of England, History Extra, Witness History and The Infinite Monkey Cage.

Herefordshire Week 056: Tuesday 19 – Monday 25 January 2021

Cold, cold nights; cold crisp & sunny days. A bit of snow. Lots of lovely walks.

Rachel’s funeral.

Wedding anniversary. Marmalade.

Green shoots, flowers and birds.

New camera 🙂

Twilight Moon

On Tuesday morning we drove to Ewyas Harold to sort out forms at the GP Surgery, so I took the opportunity to walk home: Ewyas Harold – Dulas – Old Trout Inn + Ford – Mill Lane (steep road) – Tremorithic Road – Cwm Hill – Abbey Dore.

I followed deer trails across The Parks Nature Reserve and muddy footpaths across the sheep fields between the top of the steep road up from the ford to Tremorithic Road.

Lovely.

But a bit muddy….

A bit muddy....
A bit muddy….

Finished clearing the stile into Thistly Field before work called….


Work has started to feel a bit more normal after the Christmas/New Year break. A pattern is emerging that on Wednesdays our internet is really ropey – Zoom calls have been (almost) too laggy to work. Still, it was good enough for VWW. No problem at all on Thursdays, and Family Zoom in the evening.


Friday was Rachel’s funeral back in Solihull. A beautiful sunny day, and small gathering of 15. It was good to see Rachel’s mum. We all managed to do our readings, mine with a small wobble half way through.

It was only once I’d got home that I realised quite how exhausted I was.


Sleet started towards the end of Friday afternoon, but we woke on Saturday to a cold, crisp, sunny morning.

Gorgeous.

Phil and I walked over Canns Hill fields, gingerly along the icy roads through Abbey Dore and to Ewyas Harold via the Cwm Hill deer farm and the Common.

Indulged in some sticky buns from the village shop for lunch – jam doughnut for me, Belgian bun for Phil – then back over the Common, dropping down to the Abbey (and Tan House Farm’s intriguing new pod) and home along the road, most of the ice having been melted by the sun. 10.58km, 209m height gain, 2 h 26 mins active movement, according to Phil’s tracker.

And, as you can see, I took my new camera for a spin.

An anniversary present from dad and Jean was waiting on our doorstep when we got home – a bowl of hyacinth bulbs, plus a bulb of garlic and a red chilli (family joke), plus one of Jean’s lovely embroidered cards.

After a late lunch I spent an hour trying to get the bonfire to light – no joy. Too damp and cold I suspect. May need to resort to dad’s tip of a good splash of petrol!


Another light fall of snow overnight made for a very quiet morning on Sunday. Lovely. The buzzard was back by the outdoor train set, where the yew tree means the ground was clear of snow.

The snow was shortlived, disappearing fast once the sun broke through the clouds and it was almost all gone by 10am when I started a lovely 2 hour FaceTime with Alison in her new place in Suffolk. During our catch up, I was slightly surprised when a fox sauntered past the lounge window …. it walked the length of the front lawn and disappeared between the wild plum trees and the large pond.

Having tracked down Seville marmalade oranges in Morrisons, I had bought 2 boxes which was transformed into 17 jars of Mary’s Marmalade, using the Denton Family Recipe. Double quantities made for a bit of a marathon, but I do like my morning toast and marmalade…

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with veggie toad in the hole with loads of roast veg for a late lunch / early dinner, with one of the nice bottles of wine from the “cellar”.


Another gorgeous sunny day on Monday, so made the most of the sunshine and did a walk morning and afternoon. Thistly Field – The Ark – Wellfield with Phil, then down to Abbey Dore, footpath to Riverdale and back via Kerrys Gate in the morning, then back to Kerrys Gate, over to Cockyard and back again via Quarrels Green in the afternoon. My morning route was very sociable, featuring chats with Ray, Thea and a lovely “mature” gent from EH Common doing his version of the Bacton – Tremorithic loop.

Took lots of photos with my new camera on both walks, plus some of the snowdrops and the daffodil shoots which are growing fast.

Even though it’s been very cold (-7C overnight on Sunday/Monday), there’s definitely a sense that spring is on its way: flowers are coming up, birds are starting to sing a bit more, and there is still light in the sky at 5 pm.

Zoomed with Helen and Hazel to talk through St Andrews Ladies Weekend plans as it’s highly unlikely we’ll be able to have our long weekend for 8 in May. So, looks like we’re rescheduling to 2022 …..

And one final Monday highlight – we booked in Morgan and Cuss to do the boiler / tank in February and the bathroom / showers in April!


TV: Watched all of The Newsroom, series 2 and started series 3, wrapped up the second series of Staged. Denied our Friday night treats – Grand Designs and This Farming Life – due to a combination of bad internet and no new episode of This Farming Life, we watched two episodes from Matthew Sweet’s history of film instead.

In personal telly-time, I really enjoyed Samira Ahmed’s Art of Persia. My 2007 trip to Iran remains one of the best. So much history, so much beautiful architecture and art, and lovely, lovely people. At times I felt like I was living in 1001 Nights.

Herefordshire Week 055: Tuesday 12 – Monday 18 January 2021

More snowdrops! A buzzard in the Ash tree.

A visit from the local hedge cutter tractor, and Sooty’s Chimney Sweep Services.

Camera quest conclusion.


Ticked off lots of admin on Tuesday morning and still had time for a damp drizzly walk around the Cockyard loop. Helicopters busy overhead. They’ve been absent for a while.

Then work. January always gets busy as people want to follow up on all the brainwaves they had over Christmas, work-related New Year Resolutions and the objectives agreed in end of year reviews.

We had a Winter Wellbeing seminar in the week which I joined. It was given be a psychologist who’d originally trained as a doctor. She sees a lot of patients with depression and the session blended recent findings on how people are responding to COVID as well as things like SAD and depression.

Her top tip was to get out for a half hour walk in the daylight in the first 90 mins after you get up. Daylight = emotional boost, provides Vit D and going outside first thing sets your circadian rythyms for the day so you sleep better. The walking is good for you physically and emotionally too.

So, I am going to try to do that.

She also said looking or being outside in green space was good for you too. Even having a picture of the outdoors or a pot plant in your home / office has been proven to help.


Seeing a buzzard land on the ash tree I can see from my office window provided a happy distraction on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. It sat there for a while both days. It may have been eying up the small birds at the bird feeders… or maybe just their feed.

We have a lot of buzzards around here. There’s often one that lofts up from the trees on the slope when I go to the Quarry, and there have been quite a few mornings when I’ve seen one down on the grass by the small pond, presumably looking for insects, worms etc – mice too probably!  In the summer, they circle overhead enjoying the thermals. Lovely.


A series of sociable evenings courtesy of Zoom on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, for KMCA New Year drinks, VWW and Dad and Jean respectively. And Monday evening brought another lovely Zoom catch up.

VWW starts in 15 mins....

We had our log stove chimney swept on Friday morning. Not something we ever needed in the Barbican!

Nipped into Hereford to click & collect a fresh batch of books from the library….

Next batch of books
Next batch of books

….  and somehow returned home with a haul of bargains from M&S Food too. How did that happen? No marmalade oranges for love nor money. I do hope they reach Herefordshire soon. I’ve only 1 jar left from last year.


Saturday = Admin a.m. and Bacton Backwards in the afternoon followed by stripping the leaves from the dried oregano I’d picked in my herb bed, chucked out some rotten apples (lesson for this year’s apples = don’t bother with the windfalls. Yes, as my dad had told me….), made tiffin and then dinner. I don’t make dinner often. I am a very lucky lady.

Delighted to read that a Nepalese team makes first successful winter ascent of K2.


Made the most of Sunday’s early morning sun by walking the Bacton Square before picking up Phil to continue on to complete the Cockyard Loop, which proved to be very sociable. Leisurely afternoon. We lit the stove and settled down to read (and snooze).

Reading included this article in The Guardian on Finding meaning in the life of a loved one who dies is part of grief. Good conclusion (writer Joanna Moorhead quotes grief expert David Kessler):

….people who have been in the deepest depths of despair have the broadest bandwidth when it comes to enjoying life: “When you’ve travelled through the deepest valleys, you surely appreciate the views from the highest hills.”


Monday morning saw a visit from Morgan & Cuss to take a look at options for better showers in the bathrooms and removing the cold water tank in the roof. Into Hereford in the afternoon for a top up shop and B&Q click & collect: paving slabs plus bags of sand and gravel for the floor of the greenhouse. Still have the roof bar capping to do….


It turned out to be third time lucky in my quest for a new GPS camera. I’d heard from Park Cameras that they didn’t have Sony Cyber-shot HX90V in stock after all, and had tried to order one in for me from their supplier but they’d not got any left either. Top Marks to Park Cameras for their customer service throughout though. I would buy from them again.

So on Friday morning I bought an ex-display model from London Camera Exchange, partly because it was reduced, and partly because they have a shop in Hereford and the team there have been helpful. It arrived on Monday morning, and looks fine – plus the spare batteries I’d already bought fit fine, both in the camera and in the recharging unit. Now we just have to hope for a trek to use them all on, although I am starting to think that may have to wait until 2022. Yes, really. In the meantime, stand by for better quality photos from week 56.


TV: Spiral, series 8 –  Adieu, les flics! At least I’ve got a few weeks still to enjoy The Guardian‘s Episode-By-Episode Recaps, which they’re doing as the shows are broadcast. We then tried out The Fall but found episode 1 really, really unpleasant, so we moved on to the second series of His Dark Materials – just right – interspersed with more of the second series of Staged. Plus Friday night treats, Grand Designs and This Farming Life and plenty of puppies and posties on TikTok.

Herefordshire Week 054: Tuesday 05 – Monday 11 January 2021

Another week of frosty starts, mince pies and mugs of tea.

And back to work.

Another frosty morning at Forty Acres

Did the Kerrys Gate – Cockyard – Duffryn – Camp crossroads walk on Tuesday morning, and on the stretch from the crossroads I was kept company by three long tailed tits scooting along the hedgerows alongside me. Really lovely. And we seem to have lured a group of long tailed tits to our bird feeders on a long term basis (I don’t want to tempt fate and say “permanent”). So, thank you, fat balls!


Got through my first week back at work. I wasn’t looking forward to it to be honest – there was a chunk of “what’s the point” after R’s death, as in “I could be doing better things with this time”. Anyway, it was OK. I’ve really kind colleagues, which really helps.


As did the first VWW of the year on Wednesday evening, before belatedly catching on to the news coming out of the US Capitol. Incredible. Family Zoom also resumed in its regular Thursday slot.


Friday turned out to be a Day of Admin – clearly getting back to work has brought some further benefits in terms of summoning the ooomph to Tackle The To Do Lists. Got through a lot, even though it ate up most of the day. Our new Cast Iron Casserole  arrived from ProCook, which brightened up the afternoon.

We treated ourselves to a new cast iron, enamel casserole

Friday Night Pizza resumed too, and we took it easy with the new series of Grand Designs (jaw, meet floor) and the new second half of This Farming Life, which starts off in February – so we are in the calm before the COVID Storm.

Friday night is Pizza night!
Friday night is Pizza night!

Allowed myself to get freaked out by how high the infection rates are in Hereford on Saturday morning, thanks to turning on Facebook. Walking the Bacton Square and visiting Dore Abbey to read R’s Requiem there got things back into perspective.

In the afternoon we made the most of the occasional patch of blue sky to lop some more of the brash, with Phil lugging the more distant stacks closer to the Quarry, then adjourned to the lounge for a lazy late afternoon/early evening featuring the log fire, a bit of a snooze and roast chestnuts.

Chestnuts roasting on the log stove

After a leisurely start to Sunday, Phil and I headed out for a walk – deciding on the 12km or so Tremorithic route. Hatterall’s Ridge was under cloud, but there’s still snow on the lower slopes.

A bit more lopping in the afternoon, then a replay of yesterday evening with the log fire, a bit of a snooze and the rest of the roast chestnuts.

A bit less brash
A bit less brash (now even less!)

The early spring flowers are starting to emerge – we’ve got bright yellow aconites and more snowdrops showing up, and the daffodil shoots growing taller. I spotted buds on the “smelly evergreen by the railway that I cut back hard last year” too.

Aconite flower!

Monday morning was a relatively balmy 4C, which was perfect for chainsawing up the bigger chunks of brash. Phil sorted out the outside log store and the stacked wood in the garage. Computed in the afternoon. More “admin”.


TV: Spiral, series 8 –  soooooo gooooood. I so don’t want this to be the last outing for les flics! (But it is). Plus Grand Designs and This Farming Life and the second series of Staged.
