These are the scariest times most of us have ever known. To see our wonderful refuse collection staff this morning emptying the bins is the most reassuring sight. Thank you. To still be able to get the essentials locally and be greeted by friendly staff. Thank you. To the care staff looking after my Mum when I'm not allowed to visit. Thank you. To all those people offering support to me in my caring role. Thank you. There are so many people behind the scenes keeping our lives bearable while we are safely isolated at home. They are putting themselves and their families at risk. Thank you so much to all of you. My thoughts, prayers and love go out to you.
