Or, have you stopped momentarily to admire our river, flowing unhindered past the newly laid out pocket park, whilst the backdrop of the Methodist church and the Town Mills pub making it seem almost chocolate box pretty?
Well with the lockdown easing, there is an unmistakable palpable buzz in the air.
It is an undeniable fact of life, that no matter how beautiful anywhere is, it is simply barren without people.
