I received an email from the DHSC last week, telling me that shielding has officially ended. However, I’m still being cautious – if I meet friends, itsContinue reading “September 2021 – Two year anniversary”

Wheels on Fire gets Inked – August 21
Mansfield is currently in pole position in the COVID charts, with a rate of 573 per 100,000. My areas has dropped down to nearly 200th (which is good for me!).

4th May 2021 – Two Year Anniversary
t’s 2 years today since my life changed. I hear people talking about COVID being life changing – and I generally think, no it isn’t! Whilst life isn’t a competition about who has the worst hand, having to adapt to every fragment of your life changing beyond recognition is hard. That said, I’m lucky toContinue reading “4th May 2021 – Two Year Anniversary”
