As I looked out of the window at the beginning of lockdown the street was empty, like a ghost town. No vehicles except the regular bus service running but no passengers.

I am lucky I have a small garden which I am able to tend and my greenhouse has never been so tidy.

My lifeline has been the television keeping me up to date with the news. I feel we are privileged to live in such a beautiful area and hope that the virus will soon be overcome.

Dennis.
