EDITORIAL
Hello again. Shirley and I have nearly completed our first
two weeks of (near) self isolation. I have not been to Bunnings in that
time – a huge achievement in itself.
We have successfully completed our first supermarket online escapade. We have also had successful online shopping activities with the greengrocer, chemist and for printer ink.
My shed has been returned to its former glory, and is not a health hazard to get into. I just hope I can find everything that has been stored in a "safe" place.
Recent very welcome rain has made the garden look even better. Now we wait for the weeds to appear and the lawn to grown. Autumn leaves are starting to fall, so that adds another job to our activities.

SPRINGTIME IN ENGLAND 2020
Springtime
is still re-birthing
Through
uncertainty and fear,
Everyone’s
so grateful
To see these
signs of hope appear.
The gardens
of the stately homes
Put on their
magic show,
But people
cannot walk their paths
To watch
their beauty grow.
Daffodils
reach to the skies
But get no
admiration,
They do
their best to lift the hearts
Of a very
worried nation.
Like those
sturdy daffodils
We’ll store
our strength within
And next
year when the nightmare’s gone
We’ll
re-birth again like Spring.
