Covid infections are on the decline again, the roller coaster once more is slowing down.

There’s talk of the children being phased back into school throughout the next month.

My children are drained, they are bright, articulate individuals but they are deprived of their friends, the contact, the interactions, the conflicts.

They long for a nice day, without rain with some warmth and sand in their toes, not litter, discarded masks and gloves.
