Well I hope you are all keeping well and staying home if possible. My husband cannot leave the house at all for 12 weeks as he is one of the 1.5 million cases at severe risk. He is good just needs to take extra care. I'm only going out for essentials now . This isn't what I expected to be doing this week as we should have been going to our apartment in Florida on Sunday for five weeks will certainly miss that sunshine and  my craft shopping. However we need to be safe and there is always next year  

Stay safe my friends sending love and hugs Carole x
