• Lockdown Diaries : The death of a fly

  

  The last of our guests left last Thursday after an entire month of festivities and family gatherings. Just when I thought I’d put my feet up and get back to writing, reading and art, my husband returned from work feeling unwell. The test showed positive leaving us feeling anything but positive!
