I really hope we can all look forward to a brand new appreciation for the life we have in this country. I know there are too many people for whom life in this country is shit as standard, but overall I’d say we are so lucky to have landed in this time and place. Freedom to go about our lives, knowing the NHS is there if we need it, our kids will be educated, our bins will be emptied, we can pop to the shop if we run out of milk, take the kids to visit their Gran for the afternoon, look forward to our annual week in the sun, have a boozy girls night in, go to a football match and on and on and on it goes... all those things have now been removed or are under threat like we’ve never seen before.
When this is all over I’m going to count my blessings every single day.
It hurts when I think how long it could be until I see my mum and dad, and it makes my blood run cold when I think what might happen if they catch this thing.
