Escape from Rotherham

Since Christmas no one has been allowed to go anywhere or do anything, we have all been in lockdown. But now, at last, lockdown is easing and Boris is allowing us to leave the safety of our homes to venture out into the big bad world. Granted, we can’t go with anyone who doesn’t live with us, nor can we go anywhere that we might meet another human being. We can’t eat or drink inside, just at a table under an awning open to the elements on at least two sides. But to us it seems like bliss and Ian, Chris, Misty and I intend to make full use of Chris Whitty’s magnanimity. We are going to Speeton!

Kathy and Einar have already ventured out, risking life and limb on a trip to the lakes. I mean that literally as Kathy steered a boat on lake Windermere.

We are going to emulate them in a daring escapade reminiscent of Escape to Victory, but without Pele.

Our destination is The Old Chapel in Speeton, halfway between Filey and Flamborough. We will be walking, bird watching, star gazing, and eating specially made pie and lasagne. We may even meet some old friends along the way, at a social distance of course. Fish and chips may be involved at some point. After over a year of Covid and several months of  not going out, I can’t wait!

Stars we probably won’t see
