Locked up

I forced myself to do a supermarket shop and then a walk today. The more we are cooped up in the rain, the easier it is to stay put & enthusiasm is definitely lacking. It was very quiet out, hardly any cars or pedestrians to be seen. There’s a good couple of centimetres of rain in these punts - I’m sure somebody will be given the lovely job of bailing them out soon.

Weather: wet, wet, wet
Covid: had enough of it
Good thing: public conveniences are open this lockdown and are, therefore, actually convenient.

I’m supposing there isn’t much call for punting in the river at the moment. Is it even allowed I wonder! Loss of income will be massive.
I agree about going out...we ummed & aahed but was glad once we did it! I have to do a shop tomorrow plus another ear appointment for Harry.

Nice shot

Where;s the snow?? I'm so glad I went shopping earlier in the week as it could have been a lean dinner this evening.

Well spotted and captured - and I feel the same way about staying in - made the weekly grocery run this morning and glad I won't be getting out again for a while.

Oh what fun I have had in one of those! Nice shot.

Lovely lines in this rather sad shot.

A really dismal day here too. Just bleaurggh...

We all have had enough of it. Hope for some bright sunny days for you as well. For now, great capture of a grey day

Nice pic, though, despite the rain! I love pics of multiple boats like this.
January 14th, 2021  
Oh that water looks so murky...the blue and wet wood on the boats is nice in comparison. No sunshine here for the next ten days or so, but glad it isn’t precipitating.

Love the composition of this and the simple colors.

Nice capture of the punts. We had a post-wedding punt many years ago with my brother and his wife after they got married. No doubt a common thing to do in Cambridge!

I like how you've shot their arrangement, very artful. ...and you can send some of that wet wet wet our way. We are too dry dry dry!

Love punting from Silver Street or up and out to Grantchester. Idyllic. Just not in the pouring rain!

@happypat Not allowed at the moment but it’s very much “off season” anyway - they’ll be wanting to be back on by Easter at the latest though. It’s a big drop in seasonal working opportunities especially for young folk.

Like the crop and colors

@jamibann we don’t see it that often as the river gets so busy but it’s a lovely thing to do.

@casablanca when we are ‘released’ we are definitely punting up to Granchester!
