The end of 2020 draws near...Will 2021 be a new start...?

With Christmas now behind us and the New Year ahead, thoughts of many turn to what is 2021 going to offer and from the current statistics not an awful lot of change to the current situation. A further 15 people have died after contracting coronavirus in Wales, taking the total to 3,383, according to the latest figures.  Public Health Wales (PHW) also reported a further 2,273 new cases across the country. New Year celebrations as we remember in past years will be absent for the residents of Wales and a large proportion of the UK, thoughts will be more focused on loved ones lost to this deadly virus. 

The aspiration for the population is that the vaccination rollout gathers pace and the magic formula will decrease the number of cases and deaths that is currently being reported. Approval of the Oxford vaccine is expected within days and plans to get people vaccinated are currently being drawn up. The plus point of this vaccine is that it does not have to be stored at the low temperatures that the initial vaccine required. 

Hope is the 4 letter word that is implanted on millions of minds around the world; let us not forget that this pandemic is affecting many countries the same way as it is causing grief and loss around our devolved nations.

Finally, do not forget the NHS, Social Care and key workers for their immense effort during the last nine months, and for the effort going forward in the unknown timescale that this pandemic will be present in everyone’s lives... Without their hard work and commitment life would be even more despondent for many many people...

Wales COVID-19 update – 28th December. 





After 9 long months of restrictions, with no end in sight to allow freedom of movement and holidays, you can dream of faraway places, here are some lovely beaches just made for relaxing, I have visited most of the places and it might be a while before I can go back, but everyone should have dreams…
