More deaths today...and a leading light has also gone out... We need a break...badly...

Every day it is sad to hear of all the deaths caused by this malignant pandemic, including yesterday the death of everyone’s beacon of light Captain Sir Tom Moore, all those that have passed will have loved and been loved and in some way been a part of their communities. They will have played a large role in the lives of many and will have taken part in the drama and screenplays of everyday life. I think everyone sends their condolences to all the grieving families left behind.

Play your part on preventing further deaths by following the guidelines and staying safe…
