New isolation game

Spot the supermarket delivery van!!!

Having failed since March 4th to get any sort of online supermarket delivery or delivery spot we are consumed with interest when one finally passes our windows going somewhere out on the marshes and farmland  bordering The Wash.  Who's out there? Why are they getting stuff? How did they get stuff?



Normally see 2 or 3 a day,; we have seen 1  a week now. One Sains; one Morrisons; one Orcardo.  I am reminded of the years we spent living in the back of beyond in Wales. When ever we left the hills and headed to the border our children played spot an Eddie Stobart lorry - they believed they had reached civilisation when they saw one. 

Did a local supermarket Co=opp shop this week and got the necessary items and some bread flour! But I do think in a week or so I may really, really need to do a lot more.

Meanwhile we are generally enjoying the lack of traffic, the flower packing plant along the road that has 2 or 3 Dutch lorries  a day does not seem to be operating much (they export flowers to EU and supermarket chains)  and the house foundations which react badly to the EU sized lorries have settled down nicely. Unfortunately it is now very dry and warming up so the really, really big ploughs and seeders and potato planting equipment are coming out and giving us a good rumble as they dash past to the next set of fields.

Spending as much time outside as possible. Potatoes have been planted in our veg patch. Built a cage for brassicas capable of keeping out the flock of pigeons. Ate for too much rhubarb to be called good for you. Its very dry not having rained for a good while and there have been fierce cold drying winds too. Three big water butts are empty and waiting for a good shower.
