2020 and all that

Well, if ever there was a time to relaunch, it's now.

Mrs. and I have not, of course, ceased hiking nor ceased eating and certainly not ceased doing both together though we did fall out of the habit of blogging the experience.  Some of this was differing patterns--more often we're out with another couple nowadays--but to be honest some of it was sheer sloth.

But 2020's odd interruption provides an opportunity to restart.

We've done well out of food on delivery during lockdown-- found some very good suppliers, and Mrs (a very good cook) has been keeping the pan in pandemic and the steak in staycation.  But as lockdown eases, we're looking for someone else to do the cooking.  And we're leery of the big city even if we live on the edge of the centre.  So that's back to the wilderness and the open trail, then.

Not every hike or restaurant will be blogworthy, of course.  I find on re-opening the file that I have an old draft entry about hiking and eating on the Test Way (along the river Test) in Hampshire entitled "Failed the Test not Once but Twice".  But those that are winners will get a writeup.

We've already done a couple of good ones in August--as much a matter of limbering up and remembering things that were once habit.  Looking forward to getting back to it properly.
