A normally busy main route through town is desolate. Children’s play area is locked up. This was in April. The play areas for kids remain locked but oh my how the traffic has increased!

Strange times, people are still being taken from us by this virus and we are preparing for normality. It is obviously an existential threat from both directions. Do nothing and the country’s economy could become irretrievably damaged. Do too much and the country’s senior generation et al could be lost.

I am glad I don’t have these decisions to make, yet the people who are charged with the responsibility of making them are attacked by our soulless media. I yearn for normality but resist the temptation to pretend nothing is wrong and in doing so put others at risk. Where do we go from here? I have no clue. This year has been a time that none of us could have anticipated and all we can do is hope for the best. Stay safe everyone.
