Saturday, October 3rd 2020 – What was I saying about bad days and beauty? As if to challenge me, a truly foul day when the rain and wind barely ceased.
I busied myself with work, domestic tasks and a little bike maintenance, shooting out after dark to get a takeaway in.
As I came back from Walsall Wood, I realised the roads were empty, and there was something eerily stark about the Coppice Road Junction.
Here’s hoping for a better Sunday!

December 10th – I spend a lot of time waiting at traffic lights, and of all of them, I think I like the ones on the Arboretum Junction on Walsall’s new ring road least of all.

Great light and great sunsets, and the extension of the day make for wonderful journeys right now.
