    Happy Friday everyone  :) 

    My mum was going to toodle up tomorrow but very unlikely now due to the weather.
    Afternoon tea for two being delivered.
    Anyway, it is what it is & not an 'essential' journey in some peoples eyes.
    Unfortunatly I have her cards & gifts here & have not managed to get out to post them.

    I hope you manage to get to see your Mum soon.  I think for people living alone, travel to see their bubble is definitely an allowed journey and in many cases essential for mental health.

    Yes, it is tough going this time & being stuck in due to the weather is not helping.
    Not that there is anywhere to go or anything to do but it's the feeling trapped.

    Definitely.  Let's hope there's some better weather on the horizon, that always helps.
