Hi all. Laura’s lovely report illustrated what so many of us are going through at the moment. All work cancelled. A very iffy position for all of us I assume. Also I have just received the dreaded letter from the NHS. I have to stay ‘in isolation’ for 12 weeks. Not because I have Covid plague, but because 2 years ago I had to spend a month on a ventilator with pneumonia and therefore I am a very high risk category who will need a ventilator if symptoms develop. I am great! Survived getting back on a BA mercy flight from Spain, happily cooking up things that will hopefully languish in the freezer until as and when the situation blows through to clear skies. And, about time i got into my garden and used what talents I might have there. Stay well all, Angela

My heart goes out to you – I think we are all in the same boat. I really miss the tastings I run and the people I teach miss them too. My daughter lives here with myself and my husband and we are all trying to avoid each other in case of infection – my husband has heart problems so it might be serious if he caught the virus.
All the best – stay well. Meditation helps me sometimes to stay sane!
