Notes from the Bored Room : 31 March 2020
Do you know what I am loving right now? The remote love, support, guidance and motivation not forgetting the endless videos, tags, nonsense and downright silly behaviour. We are all doing what we can when we can, if we can. Words and phrases I won’t miss - we are living in unprecedented times, when this is all over, lock down, social distancing, what can I eat, what time is it, what day is it. What I am looking forward to - the M4, just nipping out, people popping by, hugs, r
Grief
grief

Who knew that loo roll, pasta and anti bacteria gel would knock weather, Brexit and traffic off the top talking spots but they have and we are living in strange times. I have seen the best of people with them rallying round, community cohesion, buddy schemes and offers of help. I think that by now people have spoken to those they never knew were neighbours and there is a strong support network. I have also seen the worst in people. I appreciate that this is a time of great un

With St David’s Day, my step sisters’ birthdays, my birthday, Mothering Sunday, British Summer Time beginning and the days getting longer there is a lot to love about March. The garden is full of buds, shoots and spring blossom which brightens up the day and hints at the changing season. Of all the months I feel that March is one of hope and happiness. Wales Week Berkshire has really taken off with events across the county celebrating Wales and St David’s Day. Wales Week Worl
