Hello.

Front and fore in the media at the moment is Coronavirus: the situation seems to change so much in a day and challenging news keeps rolling in. Like everyone, I'm having moments when things feel bleak indeed. I think we all just have to take it day by day and remember that the time will come when this crisis is behind us. Until then we'll adjust and adapt.

I hope this forum will become a place that we can keep in touch even if that means relaying messages from those of us who are not online or emailable*.

There's no dark without light and so, without wanting to diminish how hard things feel at the moment, I would also like this to be a place that can provoke a smile and to share more postive news. So if you have something uplifting to to share, you can add items to the Raise the Spirits! category. I've already got the ball rolling.

Take care and I hope to hear from you from time to time. Michelle x
