I don't usually write this sort of post but 2020 has been a difficult year. Wishing every reader and their family and friends a happy and healthy 2021.
Here are the bad bits.
- Boris Johnson was Prime Minister and Donald Trump was US President. Neither competent at dealing with the pandemic crisis.
- The UK finally leaves the EU - being in Europe is better than going it alone.
- The pandemic has changed so many lives. People have died earlier than they would otherwise have done, many more have been seriously long term, education has been disrupted, and businesses have struggled or gone under.
There have been positive things too.
- Neighbours shopped for others in lockdowns.
- In our area, almost everyone kept to the rules on mask wearing and social distancing, so we are well down on the infection table.
- The internet proved a godsend, with WhatsApp messaging, and Zoom, Facetime and other virtual meetings.
