Lock down week 5

Lemon drizzle cake, and a lonely blueberry and lemon muffin, there were 5, but by the time I took the photo, hubby and I enjoyed one each, and I had passed 2 to our neighbours.

 A small quiche, using half the ingredients from this post, I added cheese, bacon, chives, tomato and mushrooms. It will make a few lunches for me, hubby does not eat cheese, I normally make a cheese-less one for him, but he decided he did not fancy one.  

Hubby made a large loaf for the neighbours at the bottom of our garden, the yeast they got us, has been shared again. They said they needed nothing, but everyone loves fresh baked bread. They swapped it for some bread flour they saw and got us.

Time has been spent in the garden, every day I'm in the greenhouse, watching my seeds grow, I tidy the beds and check the water for the birds, our patio doors are fully open, so the house and garden blur into one space, which is lovely.
We had our first mini BBQ, it felt a bit strange, to be enjoying ourselves, when so many are working hard and placing themselves on the front line. I am struggling to ditch a fog which is around me, we have no issues, family are all well, most are working from home, or at home, at my age, most of mine and hubby's siblings are retired. Our children are mostly at home, those who work are protected, my niece is a care worker, she has moved in with her work mate, but it's just across the road from her home, so she sees her children everyday from a distance.
I am doing housework and gardening and some craft, but I don't have any energy or inspiration to start anything, it was sad to clean windows yesterday, there were no finger marks left by Will, like everyone else I am missing our grandsons.
I am beginning to understand how much we need interaction with other people, walking to the village was more social than need for shopping, to pop to our lovely bistro for a coffee or lunch, or just a mooch around our charity shops.  Social distancing is very isolating, just being inside, when you walk around for your daily exercise, some people give the stranges of looks, most give a cheery hello.
I am hoping the UK has reached the peak, figures are flattening and the terrible deaths recorded each day has dropped, so I have everything crossed, it now comes down to waiting and then managing the opening up of our world. As much as I am not enjoying lock down, I would rather it went on a bit longer and we emerged safely, hopefully to a better world.
