\ Donal O'Leary
For the last long few months we as a nation have been drowned in ghoulish details of COVID-19 related deaths and case numbers.
We’ve been alarmed by the reproduction number and saddened to hear stories we never envisaged about death, loss and smothered grief.
Being selfish about it, as my family and I are living in the countryside; on a superficial level, at least we’re sheltered from the virus and its variants.
It’s nature and the weather that pokes us in the ribs rather than COVID-19. We stayed within the 5km, but what a 5km it is. The sky is different every day and I’ve come to realise there are a million shades of green rather than the prescribed 40.
