Gingerbread Life - März 2020

As the year began the rumblings from China about a virus that was causing respiratory problems and death were getting louder.  We carried with life, made plans, visited friends and family, we even attended a wedding (ahem).  Then the stories of it reaching mainland Europe began, Italy became over run followed by Spain, France and Germany.  A tourist on a skiing holiday brought it to the UK and within weeks the country was placed into lockdown.  We were confined to our houses, only able to leave for exercise and food but the shops were virtually empty as everyone had panic bought and stockpiled in the days beforehand.  People began downloading Zoom and Houseparty to stay in touch, working in pyjamas became the norm.  We all “met up” on a Thursday to clap for the NHS and other Essential Workers.  Lockdown 2020 had begun.  Our Lockdown Adventures can be found here.  As it is such a strange time, I decided to give Lockdown 2020 it’s very own page, which can be found at the link below.
