There doesn't seem to have been much said lately about the proposed clapping for NHS at 5pm this evening.... or have I missed that news?

We will go out as we have much to say Thank you for.
Recently a family member needed emergency care and a hospital stay and of course we couldn't visit. It was reassuring to know that even if we couldn't be there, they were receiving wonderful care and this support was still given, while they complete their recovery at home.

I did see it on facebook and we will go out but I think as the Thursday clap has finished it may well have lost impact.

I can't see any mention of 2 minutes silence there in that link. Last night it was light a candle for those who have lost their lives I think.

I went to the top of the drive gates to clap but only a couple at the top of the road came out as well. A shame when so many of us rely on the NHS service.
