I have just submitted a Covid Diary online to Louth County Council Archive. Here is an extract:
Late March
There is a big tree enclosed far behind a fence with a notice attached from the council: This mature Horse Chestnut is diseased, and we are trying different treatments before we would give up on it. We want children to refrain from playing on the tree, as it is not safe. The tree is like the rest of us in the park: giving a wide berth. It has tested positive. I pray it can be saved. It has been there a long time. I wonder if even it will outlive me, now. I never thought I would be facing my mortality at this age (the Bay City Rollers were at number one when I was born). There are other trees which are still a little stark. The grass here is dark green. There are yellow daffodils and yellow celandines. And painted in yellow on the ground at the gates, arrows marking 2 meters. (St Helena Park).
