A Suffolk Holiday Cottage

Lockdown in Walberswick

We found ourselves in Fern Cottage when the lockdown was announced and as no guests were able to come we decided to stay put. For the next 3 months! And this is what happened - spring unfurled gently but steadily in the village and in our garden; the dog grew used to daily walks without a lead; we discovered fab new walks together and  alone and grew accustomed to an empty beach; we made a new dry garden at the front and bulked up last year's planting in the back; we tried home-schooling for 2 weeks and then abandoned it; we watched as the village gradually came to life with day visitors; we rigged up  a hammock and a swing; we watered the garden as the drought stretched on for two months; we said hello to now familiar faces by the Co-op and in the lanes; we cooked and ate together 3 times a day; we watched the daffodils, tulips and alliums come and go; we sowed vegetables and flowers in a tiny slice of allotment; we met up with friends on the beach for 2 metre conversations; and finally, we cleaned and repaired, packed up and locked the doors. It was magical.
