Can any good come out of Covid 19?
By nature, I am a positive and very optimistic person. The glass half – full type. But I can’t lie to you. The Covid 19 pandemic has raised my hackles and I have reigned myself in on multiple occasions to prevent a panic attack triggered by the latest apocalypse style news. I live in the UK and have watched as the world, piece by piece is shutting down, entire countries going into lock-down with a police or military presence preventing unnecessary movement. Here, although in lock down we are told to practice social distancing keeping 2 metres apart from others when out on our assigned daily exercise and avoid unnecessary movement. Schools have closed and parents are trying to figure out how to home educate while surviving the health risks, while isolating, while trying to change their businesses into online ones, while dealing with the uncertainty and financial implications. Panic shopping has seen empty shelves worthy of war like scenarios and fights breaking out over toilet paper. Who would have thought?

I won't send my kids to school
Autumn 2011. North West England, UK. It’s a routine evening in our home. Although not late, the inky darkness outside would have you believe that it is. The heating is on and the sound of the rain tells me its pouring, drumming against the windowpanes, heavy and rhythmic. I am busy sorting tomorrow’s school uniform, preparing packed lunches and helping my eight-year-old son with his homework while starting to think about getting his four-year-old brother and the baby ready for bed.
