All around us we are seeing the best and the worst of people at the moment and, like most of you I expect, I have ups and downs about the current situation.

Some of us have front line, key and essential workers in our families whom we worry about and can only pray and hope that, while rising to the occasion, they remain safe.

Some of us have lost family and friends and, at this particularly difficult time, may feel upset that they can't have the send-off you feel they deserve.

Some of us are missing that close contact we have with family and friends, those hugs, laughs, shared meals and general camaraderie.

..... so, for everyone who is missing anyone, some lovely lyrics:

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I can offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

(Adele)

Well said Joy <3

I'd like to add - some of us are scared of 'high risk' loved ones being infected. How long before they are safe?

Operation Fanacht is to commence shortly to prevent residents travelling across the country in advance of the May bank holiday weekends. :-S
