I wasn’t able to work for a lot of it so I’ve had lots of time to get to know new friends - albeit online - I think that’s been a lovely “achievement” right? ... it’s certainly made me happy xx

I volunteered at the hospital, only missed three Saturdays! When this madness all started, I said I wanted to look back and be proud of myself! I think I made a difference..
