Collaborative Post¦ Last Sunday it was my Nan’s 80th birthday. However, in these odd times, our family wasn’t entirely sure how to celebrate it. Thankfully, lockdown has eased enough for us to be able to celebrate, although it wasn’t perhaps how we usually would have done. In spite of this, we found lots of ways to make her day truly special and memorable!

UK Lockdown in our House: Weeks 7-11
You may (or may not) have noticed I haven’t been as present on the blog or on social media over the last few weeks. For a few weeks it was down to focusing on making PPE for my local hospital and collecting donations from the local community for them.
As well as juggling homeschool and looking after the home, it was very time consuming and blogging therefore took a back seat! However, I’ve also been feeling a bit under the weather (thankfully not Covid-19) and had a couple of bereavements which have left me a bit downtrodden. I’ve really been missing writing but haven’t had the energy for it. As such, it feels great to be sitting here typing out a blog post once again!

I can’t even think of a word awful enough to describe how horrendous this virus is; the loss of life, the illness, the anxiety and the stress on our NHS and keyworkers. However, there is plenty to celebrate too. Whilst we need to remember the severity of the situation and not become complacent, it is important to also shift our focus to these positive things.
