This was making the rounds on twitter again because as you know right wing papers are intent on turning Boris Johnson into a hero.

Fuck the Tories. Another day and another 900+ deaths. Fuck Boris Johnson

A Little Bit of Hope

Last night during our ““Clap for Carers” in the UK, (which happens every Thursday at 8pm throughout lockdown), a beautiful double rainbow appeared - although I only managed to capture half of one.

Within the UK a lot of children have painted or drawn rainbows to display in their windows and the rainbow has been used as a symbol of hope. This seemed very fitting last night during our clap when two appeared at once.

I love to see rainbows at the best of times but yesterday evening this really instilled a ray of hope into my heart. We will get through this. This won’t be forever. We all reunite with our friends, families and colleagues soon. We just have to hang in there, stay strong and remain positive. 🌈

This evening The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and birthday boy Prince Louis joined the UK in the weekly #ClapForOurCarers to show their appreciation for the incredible key workers working tirelessly to keep the country running. . The Duke & Duchess of Rothesay as they are known in Scotland (Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall) showed their appreciation too from the home in Birkhall, Aberdeenshire. . . #ClapForCarers (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VtZzZDDQ5/?igshid=ww1h78p4770e

Clap for our Carers 👏

I know I wrote a post about this before but I still cannot believe how amazing it is to see people showing support and gratitude to the nations care providers, front line workers and all those who continue to risk their own safety in order to help others.

I think this is the 6th or 7th week that the majority of the people in England have stood on their doorstep, on their balcony or at their window and clapped their hands like crazy in order to say thank you. 

These times are surreal and I keep thinking that one day I’ll wake up and this will all have been one long nightmare. I wonder (Probably because I have too much time on my hands atm) will this be something we will teach our children and our children’s children about. How even though we were apart for a moment in time it was to ensure that one day we would be able to stay together? 

Will this be an event in world history that students will have to write a 500 word essay about? How when people could not say thank you with a hug or even pop round to their mates house for a cuppa they instead said thank you by standing at their window at the same time each week and applauded with the rest of their street, city and country. I think there is just something so heartwarming when you see everyone stood with their pots and pans, children with whistles (one musical family even had a kazoo!) or just clapping their hands. It’s easy to get caught up in the dark parts of what is happening globally  but I think it’s important to remember the light side of this situation too. How people still remember to care, how people still remember to say thank you. 

My mum put it into perspective today how strange the times are. She said when else would it be acceptable to say to your children ‘right i’m off upstairs to clap out of the window for 5 minutes’ and not receive looks like they’ve slightly lost it!

I hope in years to come, people remember this simple act of kindness. Even though it is just standing at your doorstep clapping your hands for a few minutes you never know who needs to hear that. 

Thank you to our carers, to the doctors, nurses, care staff, front line workers, council workers, cleaners, food delivery drivers, shop workers, pharmacists, bus & train drivers, journalists,  news reporters , and all those who keep going every day to keep us afloat in this sea of panic. Keep going! You are very much appreciated!  👏❤

"I'm risking mine and my household's lives for 12 hours a day for minimum wage. A clap is nice but how about an announcement from the government that we are no longer classed as unskilled workers and can have a liveable wage for once #ClapForCarers " https://twitter.com/KatieBurnett/status/1243094683854741504 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NXgffH7ZJ/?igshid=1njkbnbg9b9h4

Well, it’s happened, a whole year of Covid-19. How many of us thought, on March 23rd; 2020, that 365 days later we’d still be at home in our third lockdown? Not me. . . It’s been a year of self-isolation, video conferencing, minimal employment, home schooling, redecorating the house, exercising with Joe, camping in the garden, horse riding in the bedroom, social distancing, queuing, testing, clapping for carers on Thursdays, Friday night pizzas and dress-up Saturdays. . . It’s been hard but, for us, it could have been a lot worse. The pause has allowed us time together as a family and I’m so grateful to have my three beautiful girls who have carried me through. . . A lot of people have been lost to this disease and so many have given much of themselves to help fight it on our behalf. Thank-you to all those front-line workers who are and continue to help us through. . . . #clapforcarers #thankyouNHS #covid19 #coronavirus #lockdownanniversary #nationaldayofreflection https://www.instagram.com/p/CMwhDgWrz_X/?igshid=9mnmqfuoieok
