| Hello, I am really loving how much more daylight we are having and how much the birds are singing first thing. I went for an early morning walk on Worden Park last week and just stopped and listened to the birds. The morning was misty and it was really atmospheric. It is really good to take those moments sometimes.(1) Facebook Yesterday was the Spring Equinox and officially the start of Spring How the Spring Equinox marks the changing seasons (telegraph.co.uk). Hurrah! Nordic Walking As we are permitted to have outdoor group exercise from 29 March I am looking to start our Saturday Nordic Walking group on Saturday 3 April. More information to follow. I need to check all the Covid guidelines and we will probably be starting on Paradise Lane as Worden Park has been incredibly busy but I will let you know. We have really missed our group walks and the social aspect of them. Zoom time changes Daytime classes are 30 minutes earlier and there is no Zumba on Monday mornings. See timetable below. This is to allow me to do my Census 21 work. Today is Census day. As you probably know this has been happening in England and Wales every 10 years since 1801 with the exception of 1941. (1) Facebook It is kept anonymous for 100 years and then de-anonymised and released much to the excitement of people interested in family history. It is used for planning of schools, medical services and transport. I will be out and about helping anybody who hasn’t been able to do it. If anybody knocks on your door saying they are from the Census they should have an id badge and be wearing a hi-viz vest.
