Day 103 in our Garden<\/a> was the last blog post in the Day in Our Garden series. I had tried to create a blog post each day for the series but around the time of that blog post was when I had ventured outside the garden for the first time for a few weeks. If you have been following my blog you will have seen that I have now been out and about a few times – Baildon Moor<\/a>, Denso Marston Nature Reserve<\/a>, Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits<\/a>, Dalton Bank Nature Reserve<\/a>, Shipley Glen<\/a>, Potter Pits<\/a>, Yeadon Tarn<\/a>, Fish Pass at Robert’s Park<\/a>. However not much has changed since Day 1 which is why I have continued with the format of the title. All trips out have been ones were I felt comfortable that I would be able to maintain my idea of sensible social distancing. From those experiences though I will not be visiting Yeadon Tarn or walking along the river bank near Charlestown for quite a while. At Yeadon, for some reason, people were happy to walk along side by side taking up the full width of the path even when passing others. And along the river in Charletown the slopes or plants and bushes along the narrow paths meant that passing people safely was difficult and needed quite a bit of back tracking. Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits has paths but quite frequent side paths so it is quite easy to maintain safe distances. Also there are signs suggesting that people walk around the reserve in a clockwise direction which reduces the chance of having to pass people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since March 13th the only shopping I have done has been at garden centres with plenty of space to move around in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
