What a year it has been.
A year in which we had to stay indoors, wear a mask when we were out and to keep apart from others – and a year in which we were prevented from hugging our elderly relatives at a time they needed our comfort the most.
2020 saw a massive upheaval to our daily lives as the coronavirus swept the country claiming so many lives and threatening the vulnerable, and forcing the Government to lock us down and restrict our movements.
Businesses have struggled or gone to the wall as the shutters came down; we have been prevented from having a pint in a pub with friends, browsing for goods in a shop, watching a play, going to the gym or worshipping in church. We have learnt to meet, to be entertained, virtually, although we know it’s just not the same.
