The time is approaching when – slowly – our world will begin to return to normal, however many of us are fast becoming aware that whilst we have been in seclusion the world that we left behind has changed. Not only on the outside but also within and so the world we return to – though similar – will have…
This last couple of weeks have been tough – maybe because we now have our “road map” out of lockdown outlined – and that last leg of the race when the finishing line is in sight is always the hardest.
