I admit as I drive back home in my Morgan that I am deeply affected by what is happening and the amazing efforts of the people I have met.

I am lucky ..fit and well and in a good financial state..my parents in their 90s are in isolation in their own home.

This morning I cried when I heard one of my neighbours had died due to the virus...a retired teacher who was Director of the local foodbank...a wonderful organiser with a great sense of humour.

I have to tell my 90 year old mother of his death...my parents home was a collection point for the food bank and he visited her every week to pick up the donations.


I will raise a glass to him tonight.

None of this is fair !!!!
