I don't think anyone is aware, because it's not like I have often talked about it, but we haven't been able to get out for our usual walks this year because of there being so many other people (who seem to have just discovered the outdoors) out and about taking over all the usually quiet escapes. Just FYI, that first statement was obviously sarcastic due to the fact I haven't stopped complaining about it haha.
It's a huge miss for us, being able to get out and just breathe fresh air, spot the wildlife and photograph the changing seasons. We'd usually get out to the beach or woods multiple times a month and now it isn't once a month. These photos in this post are from Saturday the 12th of September when my car was in for it's MOT. We don't have any other vehicle, we don't live within walking distance to a garage and there is no way in hell I'm going in any stores/buildings or public transport any time soon...so we had no other choice but to walk.
With masks on (yes we were outside and any people we were nearby were only in passing but we will not be seen without masks in public) and camera around my neck we went for a wander. This is what we experienced.

Our nearest town is South Shields so after driving to the garage and dropping off the car we headed toward the riverside where the Ferry is. Considering how close to the town centre this is it was pretty quiet - pretty quiet isn't quiet enough for me haha. We found a huge grass hill, away from the benches to sit but after having come to the conclusion waiting with no books was going to drag we set off again.
We discovered a statue about a lady who sounded like a very interesting person, saw dragonflies, foraged for blackberries and just generally got to do what we do best. It was a lovely time together.
Oh and even better, my car passed it's MOT!
Until next time...
