TORIN and CAROL, Lockdown Day 40

How as Covid-19 affected you and your lives?
We are fortunate to have a decent-sized garden, which keeps us sane and active – digging up the rampant wild garlic and ivy, and planting up cuttings and seeds. We don’t go out much, except to the shops which are in walking distance, and occasional long walks for exercise (in addition to the exercise bike in the summerhouse).

The thing we miss most is our grandchildren and other family, though we keep in touch through HouseParty, WhatsApp, emails, phone calls and, yes, letters!

We try to focus on the present – I do have moments when I feel sad but I also know that we and our family are lucky, and that no-one has been ill so far.
