Subject: RE: BS: Pandemic: a sense of community
I had to go out to post one of my card model kits today and noticed that people were crossing the street to maximise the distance between them, whilst smiling and nodding to show good will.
Perhaps I will have a surge in sales as folks look for new hobbies:)
One thing that we have noticed the last couple of days is how few aircraft are going over, just like when Iceland decided to clear its throat. We have been gardening in the bright weather as we are surrounded by fields, but there are footpaths alongside two of the garden boundaries and there are far more walkers than normal (ie. some when there are usually none).
There seem to be more birds about than normal including a goldcrest today, and I've not seen one of those for years.
One of our locals has started a what's app group in case anyone has an emergency. There are twenty-odd properties on our lane but most are about a field apart. We hardly ever see anyone who lives here except to wave as we pass in cars on our single track lane. Perhaps we will have more community afterwards.
Keep safe,
Robin
