Will Not End with Lockdown

My street in Westcliff started a Whatsapp Group at the start of Lockdown but I would be very surprised if it ends when Lockdown does.

The group has brought the street together in the most wonderful way. Everyone is sharing their personal struggles and triumphs, as well as tea and cakes. If someone needs something, someone will have one going spare.

The group made Lockdown not just bearable but enriching.

VE celebrations.

Runaway pets.

Losing loved ones.

Health crises.

Spare DVDs, books, garden pots, veggies, milk alternatives, and exercise equipment have all been shared.

In the midst of so much loss, I feel that we have all found something we will not lose again.
