Travelling in the time of Coronavirus-the last ferry from Santander

It was the last passenger ferry from Spain to the UK steaming into Santander

A small group of motorbikes

And lines of cars and campervans waiting for the exodus.

Like a mini Dunkirk escaping an invisable enemy

It was a different crossing to the previous I have had

No promenading the decks as all passengers were confined to their cabins

Running on the spot to exercise on the 24 hour crossing

Back in England

A walk along the beach in Rye Harbour

Through the marsh to gather my thoughts.

Tonight the UK has gone into lockdown.

Things change quickly in a pandemic.

  1. Jude – South Dell, Ness, Isle of Lewis, Scotland – Hello Visitors I'm Jude, a writer and dreamer. I live in the Outer Hebrides on Lewis 'living on the edge' as they call it on the north west coast of the Island, gazing out at the denim blue Atlantic. Wild winds and horizontal rain! I have a lot of hobbies and a passion for motorcycling. I'm probably a Pagan. I hope you enjoy some of my scribbles and thoughts! You can find my books here: https://www.judethompsonauthor.co.uk/
