As we hit a number of scary milestones in the path of this disease this Easter I am thinking of key workers in all walks of life with gratitude
And wishing everyone a peaceful and hopeful Easter.

Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

Happy Easter to you, too. Not as usual as previous years since families can’t get together and churches are closed.
Thanks. It is nice to see how inventive everyone is being in their ‘isolated’ community support though, in the UK with #BigClaps, Window rainbows, Foodbanks, Video conferencing Apps and home broadcasts etc. and I am sure many more in other countries.
Beautiful light of hope. Thankfully, in the natural world, little has changed. It gives me such strength.
Me too and I am grateful that we are in Spring with promise of warmth and new life.
Goodness, I’ve just watched the English news and I can’t believe how many people have already died in the UK and they have only reported the hospital deaths. 😦 Stay safe. The key workers need a medal for what they are doing.
Cheers Piglet. Yes, I imagine the real care home situation is grim. Vaccines and full testing can’t come fast enough. My son is a nurse and is currently off with symptoms, but still can’t get tested!
Wow, that is disgusting. They are not treating the frontline angels very well. I hate the way the government try to put a spin on this. Everyone knows they were tinkering while Rome was already on fire elsewhere. The medical teams are doing an amazing job. Let’s just hope they get the supplies they need along with the support. Clapping is good but supplies would be better.
Hope is the key word here and I sincerely hope the UK figures will continue to slow. Your spring display is so cheering! 😃
Thanks Cathy. Such strange times, but good to be reading about plateaus and downturns! I am so thankful to have a garden right now.
