Optimism. Enthusiasm. Hope.

Less than 48 hours after the PM announced a change to the lockdown rules and we’ve planned a family barbecue already!

I can’t wait.

Both my sisters are available, and willing to travel, next Wednesday, so our garden will be open for a Chesworth Family Reunion Extravaganza! Obviously, I’m making it sound bigger than it will actually be. No hugs, no trips indoors for the loo, no chance for Hannah or Sophie to cuddle their little nephew. But the point is we’ll all be together, in the same place, talking face-to-face (although with those faces 2 metres apart).

I’m so excited I’m tearful.

The simple things are the ones that mean the most, that’s the lesson I think we’ve all learnt since February. I hope it’s a lesson we don’t forget….
