A strange mothers’ day

The COVID diaries – 4   22nd March

So, a mothers’ day when mothers shouldn’t be visited. Such is the strange and worrying world we live in. Thanks to Skype, we shared some quality time with our three sons and celebrated in a different way. Much to our surprise, one of them even managed to send some flowers courtesy of Marks & Spencer (we were surprised they were delivering!).

But, although the sun was out today, the storm clouds are gathering.  Huge numbers visited public open spaces, with Snowdonia seeing record numbers, seemingly oblivious to the need to avoid contact.

The news from Italy and Spain is not good, and in Germany groups of more than two in public are now being banned.

We can see what the future holds.
