It’s been almost eighteen months since the pandemic first hit the UK and our lives completely changed. It’s not been easy nor all that enjoyable, especially for the children who’ve missed out on school, time with their family and friends, and outdoor opportunities (for those without a garden or an outdoor space) as at one point the public were limited to only an hours exercise outdoors per day. Never for a moment did I think that I’d be bringing my children up in the midst of what is essentially a plague, yet here we are and though it’s been immensely …
