Taking care not to push the button on the lights (there be Dragons; there be Covid on them surfaces) we waited for a pause in the torrent of traffic. Then, quickly forded the stream, and headed south and then east, picking up the trail of the White Cart Water.

I missed out on government support because I became self-employed in the “wrong” year. I didn't file a tax return in 2018/19 so I don't qualify for help for the self-employed. Instead, after 22 years of paying taxes, I'm only entitled to £74 a week Job Seekers' Allowance. It helps with the food shopping, but for the rest I'm living off the money mum left me.
