I Got Pinged!

Bee on Marigold

On 18th July I was pinged by the NHS Covid App, meaning that I had to self-isolate for seven days. The App identifies a contact with someone who later tested positive for Covid. However, I have no idea where that happened, and certainly did not come from any friends I met during the week. I took a lateral flow test, which was negative.

Last week the UK was experiencing a heatwave with temperatures in the low 30c. Having had to cancel my plans for Wednesday, at least I could spend time in the garden. The mornings and evenings were best times for being outside. During the height of the day, there was nowhere to escape to; not one room in the house was cool, and at night sleeping was difficult. With no rain, watering the garden was high on the list of jobs for the evening. Housework had to be done early in the morning, or not at all!

The photos I am sharing this week reflect my life during the last seven days Thankfully, there were some distractions in the garden and the moon was looking beautiful.

Today I am able to leave the house again!

With time on my hands, I made a little beach scene to sit by the pond, decorated with finds from the bankside of the River Thames, some fairy garden items, and a few shells.
