It has happened, we are almost out of a pandemic, the climate crisis needs immediate attention, so what does Putin do? Invade the Ukraine. The implications for them and all of us are huge. I hope the Russian people can try and persuade him to turn back.
Meanwhile up north we are on about our fifth storm. On Sunday the trickle turned into a wide river just in the garden below and yesterday the main doors were shut at Bowes Museum because the wind was so fierce and two women were blown over trying to find the alternative door. Despite that we have managed to get out and have fun with dogs and dad and son and daughter in law.
I have even managed a little trip within a trip, this time to Leeds. For two nights in Leeds one could have almost a week in Spain this time of the year, but it is nice to be able to explore a bit more of the UK and to catch up with old friends in the area. At first the town was so full on I was like I am more of a country hick than I realised but by the end I was enjoying hoping on and off buses and getting to know the different neighbourhoods.
