I’ve stocked up on bird food already – I don’t want our feathered friends in the garden to go hungry if it comes to the point where I can’t get out - and will keep topping up as we use it, just in case.

Keep safe everyone - please remember the elderly and give them a call, if nothing else so that they (and you) can hear a friendly voice, or drop a note round to see if they are okay and need any shopping - even if it's to put it on their door step. If you're shopping and doing an order online for yourself for instance, could there be things an elderly person next door needs that you could get for them? Self isolating can be a very lonely thing to go through, especially if you don't have access to a computer or the ability to use one. Keep washing those hands. |
