W is for Windows (A-Z Challenge 2020)

In January of this year my hubby and I decided that it was time to move on to the next stage of our lives and move house.  I deliberated long and hard about whether it was a good move to take part in the A-Z Challenge this year (pun intended) given that we could be very busy, but decided on balance that having something to focus on might not be a bad idea.  Of course the decision on a theme was much easier to make – Moving House!  

Then Covid-19 put a stop to any ideas of moving so I’ve had to regroup and rethink my posts.  Which means I’m not as prepared as I’d liked to have been but here goes:

W is for Windows

When I drafted my list of posts for this challenge this was going to be a post about all the different types of windows you find in houses.  That was of course pre Coronavirus and pre lockdown.

Now we just look longingly from our windows, wishing we could go outside safely.  People put rainbows on them and messages for all our key workers who are keeping the vital services going and, of course, saving lives.

Now it's warmer we can start flinging the windows open, letting in the sun and warm air, but hopefully not this dreaded virus.

I count myself lucky in so many ways right now.  The views from our windows are lovely.  To the front we have a vast open space, to the rear we have a nice garden.  We are not stuck in a housing development where the windows might give a great view but feel just as enclosing as prison bars would do. Our window cleaner even came recently and cleaned the front windows as usual.  Social distancing was of course observed - payment was put down for her to pick up.  No physical contact occurred.

I seem to spend a lot of time looking out the window.
