I have been absent from my blog for a long while. The last couple of months have been particularly busy both at work and at home, with a couple of pesky illnesses that derailed and drained me, leaving no energy for anything creative. If you have been reading my musings for a while, you will know that for me one sure way to recharge the batteries is to go for a long walk in Essex countryside, let my mind wander, away from technology (save the phone for its camera, of course) and the general buzz of life that can be a bit overwhelming and stressful. With the memories of the recent sad events here in London and in Manchester, I was craving a get away from the news and information overload.
