Normal?

Lots of good things are happening. I must be very lucky because I really don’t need much at all. Several people have either phoned or emailed me to offer help but so far I’m fine...my life now isn’t very different from what it was like before. I’m used to being alone...and it’s fine. I still have my cleaner and my gardener but if I’m on my own most of the time it’s normal for me. Today I will take my car out for a run but remembering how busy the villages are I will probably not park...just go and look at the sea from a cliff top. That will suit me fine. I know it’s Sunday but as the churches are still not able to hold services I have two sites to join in....one excellent one from the next village and another very strange one coming from the bishop who is just chatting to a friend. I tend to jump from one to the other so maybe I should just stick with one of them to get the full effect.
I really am not missing church . Even before all this I talked to God in my garden in preference to going into the church building...so once again it’s normal. My solitary life has become what I need...and the presence of the huge cruise liner sitting opposite me brings back memories daily. I can go back to blog posts and photographs from years ago when David and I were travelling the world together...these bring back joy and incredulity at what we did and what we saw. I have been a very lucky woman...and still am. This life suits me...I’m not feeling isolated or cut off. Friends will start to arrive soon I’m told...but I’m telling everyone to wait a couple of weeks. Cornwall is very full. The traffic on the road has got heavy at times...but by the end of the month it should start to go back to normal I think...when the schools start up. I’m saying when not if....fingers crossed...children and teachers need to try to get back to academia soon. I am assuming that this weird period will end and of course I could be very wrong...but fingers crossed I think an end is beginning to be glimpsed somewhere up front. We need some normality to take us into Autumn and then Winter! Who ever would think we are looking forward to being normal?
