My lovely brother and sister in law went to see mum in her care home this afternoon. Luckily mum has a ground floor room with a large window facing the front of the building. Brother called mum on her landline (she is no longer able to use her mobile) and she spoke to him whilst looking at him and sis in law through her window.

I have my brother’s daughter staying with us at The Gables. She is furloughed at the moment and has offered to help out with the gardening. Yay! Although she is also revising her Hindi, refining her Bollywood dancing and her burlesque moves. She’s a woman of many parts!

Strange times indeed !
